Hi Hertha, 

You can download a digital object from AtoM by accessing the master digital object, and then using the options in the right-click context menu of your browser to save it locally. Some notes: 

• First, by default, access to the master digital object (AKA the original upload) is restricted to logged in users by default. This can be changed via Admin > Manage Groups if desired (go to the anonymous group, Archival description permissions, and change "View master" permissions to "Grant" and save - now public users can access the master image). If you have not made these changes, then you will need to log into the application. 
• Find the description with the digital object you wish to download and navigate to the description's View page. 
• Click on the digital object - AtoM will open a new tab and display the master digital object. 
• Right click on the digital object, and use your browser's "Save as" options to save a local copy. 

​

As for reports, AtoM does not currently have a lot of reporting functionality. One thing that you can do with the assistance of a system administrator, is to register for a Google Analytics API Key, and use Google Analytics for your data. 

AtoM includes a place in the  config/app.yml configuration file to add the Analytics key. See: 

• https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/2.4/admin-manual/maintenance/web-analytics/#page-tagging-tools
  
• https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/2.4/admin-manual/customization/config-files/#config-app-yml
  

Once added, give it about a day for the API to start collecting usage statistics such as page visits, but you should be able to log into your Analytics account and start seeing data.
