Custom content type and Reporting

Former Member over 2 years ago

We have our custom content type with thousands of items.
But in Reporting extension I don't see any or see 1-2 of it.
I didn't do anything special to integrate that content type with Reporting. Should I do? And how can I do that?

PS I can see my custom Application Type in Report's filters

Would not implementing IActivityStoryContentType mean it wouldn't appear in the Activity widget?

Yes, if you do not implement IActivityStoryContentType, for custom content, it will not create an activity story when new content is created.

It looks like the database has not been updated to match the version of the ReportingETL.exe you are using.

Reporting has very limited capabilities when it comes to custom content. It has no idea where the content lives so it can only pull over what the core services know about the content, which is what is handed when ISearchableContentType, or one of the other plugin types, registers it. You need to ensure that you're implementing IContent. If you have this properly implemented, the date should match and while the name and subject will show ('Unknown'), when shown in reporting a lookup occurs that will show the IContent.HtmlName.

Okay. I made it work.
And see strange results. I created all contents (2000) at once. Than changed createdDate in DB with random values in 2 years interval.
Now on graph I see 1800 contents created in that 1 day and other 200 contents has random dates.
I clicked Reset and started ETL several times.

Can I reindex content with correct CreatedDate?
