SAP JAM is a social collaboration platform that helps organizations to share content to their customers, partners, and employees. SAP JAM provides an ability to create “Groups” to collaborate with your team. Administrators who maintain such groups will find value in the usage tracking data. It can help them understand how active the group is, and how is the published information consumed.
With the help of SAP Web Analytics, SAP JAM can provide usage analytics of end users by collecting behavior data from user’s browser.
Every JAM Instance has important two roles:
- JAM Instance Administrator
- JAM Group Administrator
This series of blog explains how SAP JAM instance administrators can enable usage tracking for their JAM Instance. Later, the instance administrator can let the group administrators to consume the tracking data of their respective groups.

STEP 2:
Open the SAP Web Analytics application and go to Site Management. Click on “Add Site”.
STEP 3:
Enter the copied domain name in the “Website” field and give an appropriate “Name” to your site. Leave the rest of the fields as is. Click “Save” and agree to the message that appears. You’ll be redirected to “Site Management” view.
