Better insight into videos restored from archive

With the new storage-based hours buckets, it's more important to know how often your users restore videos from the archive, moving them from one hours bucket to another. I've spent a lot of time analyzing report data trying to figure out how we can stay under our quotas but restored sessions are one variable I can't account for easily. Panopto doesn't provide any tools specifically for this; one could utilize various reports and analyze changes over time, but there's no one-stop solution for determining how much content was restored in a given time period. I have two parallel suggestions:

  1. Restored Sessions Report - create a new report with information (id, folder, owner, length, etc.) for sessions that were restored in a given time period.
  2. Add a new tab to the Content Retention area for restored videos, perhaps similar to the current Audit tab, with data that can be downloaded in a structured format (e.g. CSV)

It might be important, for either of these suggestions, to be able to distinguish why a session was archived, too. The report, for instance, could contain a column stating which retention policy placed a session in the archive or whether it was by user action (and which user).

    I was recently looking for some of this information and if I had something dedicated to tracking when a user intervenes in the content retention process it would save me a ton of time. This is a great suggestion!

    One suggestion for the restored sessions report: it would be great to know which individual restored the session, and the role that they hold in that context.

    As we now need to keep track of viewable stored hours, archived hours, and created hours, I want to suggest the following:

    A report that shows admins a detailed list of all sessions that have been restored from archived to viewable within a period of time (week/month/year). We would want to see the session name (with link directly to it) it's location folder, who restored it and when.

    We have the option to receive summary reports of all sessions moving from viewable to archived (with details that include the criteria/rule that led to the archiving). We can easily see recently created sessions. This new report would provide us with a comparable level of info about sessions moving from archive to viewable.

    Hi

    Is it possible to generate reports of videos that have been restored/unarchived from archive and have their last restored by/last restored date time included in the report?
