File download report

Hello, A teacher in our school would like to collect data on how frequently a particular file in a Canvas course has been downloaded. The "User Access Report" found in Admin > Setting > Report seems to provide this, with columns for "Content Type", "Content" and "Times Viewed". The file in question appears in several rows in the report, with "Content Type = attachment", "Content = file title" and "Times Viewed = a number"

Just to confirm, are files downloads represented in this report, and would the number of downloads equal the total of numbers in "Times Viewed"? thanks
