Using system usage reports

System usage reports show, from different perspectives, how your organization is using Connect. All of the reports can be filtered by specifying a date range. Connect system administrators typically create and use system reports.

The system reports are different from each other and provide distinct data. First, you select a type of system report: Individual Usage, Group Usage, Cost Center Usage, Full System Usage, or Burst Pack Usage. Then, you are given specific options for the report you selected.

The Individual Usage report provides information about how a single user is interacting with Connect. The report includes total meeting minutes, total trainings completed, and total storage consumption. The report helps you determine how many meetings and training sessions a user has attended. The storage consumption number tells you which individuals uploaded the most content.

The Group Usage report shows many details about a group of users. The top of the report lists summary information about the group, including total number of members, total meeting minutes, and total consumption. The second section of the report lists the individual members and data for each, such as total meeting minutes, login status, and manager name. Run Group Usage reports for different groups to compare and see, for example, which groups are using Connect the most and least.

The Cost Center Usage Report shows how members of a specific cost center are using Connect. One section of the report lists individual members of the cost center and their system usage. Another section lists meetings billed to the cost center and details, such as total number of attendees and meeting owner name. The Cost Center Usage Report helps you track Connect minutes and costs. Run separate reports for different cost centers to compare their statistics.

The Full System Usage report provides a high-level summary of Connect usage. Optionally, filter the report by group and/or by specifying a date range. System, meeting, and training summaries are provided on a single page. This report is useful for telling management and other departments how your organization uses Connect.

The Burst Pack Usage Summary report lists how many burst pack minutes your organization is using. (Organizations purchase burst pack minutes when they require more minutes in a particular time period.) The report also shows the number of active rooms and the peak number of users. Use this report to control usage and costs of Connect.
