How to View Device Usage
Device Usage reports focus specifically on compiling usage statistics based on the unique device that the software product is being used from. Usage is based off of keystrokes and minutes in use. All reports are based on total minutes and days used, or number or distinct logins or users.
Device Usage Overview
The Optimize Reports in this section focus on usage summarized by device where usage originated.
Clicking on this menu item container renders a dashboard that contains these widgets:
- Top 25 Devices by Days Used: Top devices in Asset Vision that show the most usage by days.
Usage Summary
Usage summarized by device where usage originated. Scope by relative date range, usage threshold, keystroke threshold, software products, computers, primary users, and users. The primary user of the machine is the user who logs in the most over a period of time.
Usage Analysis
Usage Analysis displays the average minutes in use per hour.
Device Logons
The Optimize > Device Usage > Device Usage > Device Logons displays a list of physical machines with a count of Disctinct Logins and Distinct Users. The view can be filtered based on one or more Users.
The view shows Distinct Logins and Distinct Users, with drilldowns for each providing a list of Logins and Users respectively.
Virtual Device Logons
The user is able to find usage of software programs on specific operating systems by navigating to Optimize > Device Usage > Device Usage > Usage Summary. From this data view the user can filter based on the Operating System field to discover machines with that OS.
The user can use the Software Product scope to find a specific product. Since the Software Product Scope is applied to the related table for the aggregated columns in the table, it will only affect the value of the aggregated column and not the number of rows in the main data view.
Finding Usage of Software on Specific Operating Systems
The user is able to find usage of software programs on specific operating systems by navigating to Optimize > Device Usage > Device Usage > Usage Summary. From this data view the user can filter based on the Operating System field to discover machines with that OS.
The user can use the Software Product scope to find a specific product. Since the Software Product Scope is applied to the related table for the aggregated columns in the table, it will only affect the value of the aggregated column and not the number of rows in the main data view.
To view programs (executable files) related to those filters applied, the user can click the value in the Total Minutes column of a record. This will drill down into a report that displays the software program records.
