How to View Usage for All Users in a Single Report

To easily monitor user engagement or assist with general governance across your platform, Admin users can view the Actions of all Users on their platform in a single Usage Report, which can also be exported as an Excel spreadsheet.

• Data Columns
• Report Filters / Search
• Export Usage Data

Where to find the Usage Report

To view the usage of all your platform's Users, go to Admin > Users and click the Usage Report icon up top of page.

This will open the Usage Report page.

Default Usage Report View

The default view for the Usage Report will display the past month's data, with no filters selected.

This will display Users' Actions on the platform, with the most recent listed at the top.

Data Columns

The data that is displayed in the report's columns are:

• Module: The area of the platform the Users' Actions occurred in. 
• Action: Such as 'View' a Database Record, or 'Download' a Resource.
• Item: Such as the name of the viewed Folder, Resource or Record.
• Source: Only populated when Action occurred via an External API.
• Date/Time: When the Action occurred.
• User: Who carried out the Action 
• Emulated By: If the Action was carried out by one Admin user emulating another platform User, the name of the Admin user will be displayed here. If the Action was directly carried out by the platform User, this column will display as 'N/A'

Report Filters / Search

Users' Usage data can be returned to match a specific date range or single day by selecting required dates in the From and To filter fields.

The usage data can also be filtered down to only include Users who belonged to specific Divisions or Groups at the time of the action (i.e. if a user belongs to different Groups and Division now, the filtering will still apply based on the Groups and Division that applied at the time the action was lodged in the Usage Report).

You can also select specific Users from here, and additionally filter to only see Actions that have occurred within certain Modules on the platform; such as Resources, Database or even a specific Databases' Records or Survey's Responses.

After selecting your Filters, clicking Search will update the data shown below.

Export Usage Data

Clicking Export Usage Data will download an .xls document to your browser. 

This will match what is displayed on the platform at the time of Export - if Filters have been enabled, only the results that match those filters will be exported.

Export Limitations

Exports are limited to the first 100,000 rows of Usage data.
