Feature usage history

From the Features page, the Usage History tab shows statistics for license usage during any period that usage was tracked. In addition, you can see monthly percentage of use under the Utilization History tab. The settings you make on this page (for example, filters) are retained for the next time you log into License Statistics.

To choose the feature for which to view statistics, use the pick lists in the Select Features to Compare section at the top of the page. To compare multiple usage history reports, see Usage History Comparison report.

General Information

The General Information area includes identifying information for the feature, including the last update time. You can edit the feature details by clicking the Edit icon on the right end of the General Information title bar.

Feature Usage History grid

The Feature Usage History grid includes both the number and percentage of minimum, average, and maximum license usage and minimum and maximum borrowed licenses. The grid also includes the total number of licenses for the selected feature. 

The color of the text in the license usage columns helps you quickly recognize the level of utilization:

1. Red: 90% - 100% utilization
2. Yellow: 70% to 89% utilization
3. Green: 0% to 69% utilization

Feature Usage History graph

The Feature Usage History graph plots the number of licenses used per day, shown in hourly intervals, throughout the selected month. This graph gives you a quick picture of license usage fluctuation during the selected month. See Feature usage graphs for additional information about feature use graphs.

Filtering results

You can filter the information in the Feature Usage History grid to see information for specific intervals. The filters will also be used when downloading the data to a file. Using the pick lists in the Advanced Filtering area, you can choose to show results in the Feature Usage History grid by the following intervals:

• Yearly (may be grouped by quarter, month, week, day, or hour)
• Quarterly (may be grouped by month, week, day, or hour)
• Monthly (may be grouped by week, day, or hour)
• Weekly (may be grouped by day or hour)
• Daily
• Custom (let you select the date range for which to view statistics from the Date range calendar)

For example, if you choose to group results by quarters in a selected year, your results will look similar to the following:

The Advanced Filtering area also lets you choose whether to show used, borrowed and total licenses on the graph. For more information about graphs, see Feature usage graphs.

Average usage calculation

The average usage (Avg Used column value) is computed differently depending on how the usage history data is grouped.

• When data is grouped by Day, the average usage is the weighted average of licenses used in particular day. For example, if you use 1 license for 8 minutes, then use 6 licenses for 2 minutes, the average usage is calculated as (1*8 + 6*2) / (2+8) = 2.
• When data is grouped by Week, the value displayed is the mathematical average of the weighted averages.
