+Recognition counts
+------------------

+Vuforia can generate a report of the number of recognitions of each target in a database in a month.
+Only the current month and the previous month can be requested.
+
+This needs the ID of the database, which is shown in the Vuforia target manager.
+
+The report is generated in the background, and the URL it is served from expires just under seven days after it is requested.
