Work with usage reports

Usage reports can be viewed through the Activity Dashboard for ArcGIS app in the portal website. To access usage reports, log in to the portal website as an Administrator or member with the correct privileges and click Organization > Status. For a description of how to work with usage reports, see the sections below.

Organization of usage reports

Usage reports are organized into three categories: Content, Members, and Groups.

  • Content—Content reports illustrate how members are creating, using, and sharing content. Use this tab to visualize summary reports about maps, layers, files, apps, and tools. Discover who the top contributors are in your organization and obtain feedback on the geographic extent of items.
  • Members—Member reports help you understand the status of your organization's members and their activities in the system. Use this tab to aggregate counts of members and accounts by type, and obtain member profile information to achieve awareness about the use of the organization.
  • Groups—Group reports provide a sense of active collaborations by members of the organization. Use this tab to determine group access, group owners, and featured groups and determine the share status of groups.

Available usage reports

The available usage reports vary according to which category you are viewing.

Content

Content reports illustrate how members are creating, using, and sharing content. The charts, tables, and map support drill-down interactions that allow you to refine the report details. Adjust the time at the top of the app to change the reporting period for the reports. You can see content activity for up to the past 12 months. The default is two weeks.

  • Content Details—Displays the number of items in the organization into five separate categories - maps, layers, files, apps, and tools - and summarizes the counts in a bar graph. Select a category to see how many different types of that category exist and to view a table with additional details. Click an item name to view a chart with usage details.
  • Extent of Content—Displays the geographic extent of all items owned by the organization during the reporting period.
  • Content Summary—Displays the number of new or modified items added to the organization during the reporting period. Contributors is the number of members who created or modified items during the reporting period.

Members

Member reports help you understand the status of your organization's members and their activities in the system.

You can see member activity for up to the past 12 months. The default is two weeks.
