Track page views (STUDY VIEW LOGS) #672

Store every time a user views a study so we can show the total times a study has been viewed

Tasks:

[ ] Assess approach and best practice for these logs
[ ] Store user page views
[ ] Make total page views available as an island on a study page
[ ] Consider indexing total views for each study so available as a facet and search limiting (ie studies with >10 views)
[ ] Allow limiting or grouping by time (ie if we want/need to limit to last week/month/year or show more granularity/trending)
[ ] If storing user id, confirm protection of privacy and ability to clear history (and how that is maintained as an anonymous view in the study history)

Allow limiting or grouping by time (ie if we want/need to limit to last week/month/year or show more granularity/trending). Are we saying grouping when the study was viewed in the index? Essentially having a count and some way of looking for more than 10 views in the last week?

Need to clarify how we are indexing or displaying. Is there a best practice for recording and indexing records like this?

I would assume best practice for logging study_page_views would be just making the log contain very little information. This would include user_id and nct_id of the study the user viewed. Rails includes a updated at and created column as well. That part is straight forward. Indexing the study view-count would be straight forward as well. The issues arises when trying to groups them in some way and see the view count. I am not sure of the best way to do that to be honest. Will speak to Ramiro about the issue and see if he has any ideas.
