Hi,

I am using office 365\SharePoint online had a small requirement

where users need to get logged while opening document ( i need count how many times user open document) , there is an auditing but office 365 doesn’t support open or download.

How do i achieve with client side scripting via CEWP using javascript or jQuery ?

Can anyone help me out pelase.

Thanks,

Manoj.

Tracking and reporting on Document can be done, you have to enable auditing on the library, by using timer job to count the files opened. But this count will be updated if document is accessed via SharePoint site through browser:
