    if that is viewed by VF page only - add some action to VF page that is executed when page is loaded and increase some counter.

    Actually, what do you put in 'view'? Is it when your record appear in search results or just open in separate detail page? Or maybe, retrieved via SOAP/REST API?

If you display the record in a Visualforce page, you can include Google Analytics code in the page. This will generate stats on sessions, page-views and users. Here's some sample code.

  • yes but google analytics is a bit excessive. why not just a an initized counter in that visualforce page writing back to the record. Google analytics opens up a much larger security conversation, and assumes the user has/wants GA. What we do know is they have salesforce.
