Usage Per User report

To see a report on the usage of feature, select the Usage Per User tab from the Reports page.

General Information

The Usage Per User report shows license usage information for all features or a selected feature, for one or all monitored license servers.

Before you produce a Usage Per User report, you can specify the type of aggregation to use for the report. You can also group feature usage information, as described in subsequent sections, below.

Types of aggregation

You can specify the type of aggregation by which you can aggregate the results for the report. If the aggregation type is not specified,  the report will be aggregated by Username and Hostname. Available options are:

• User
• Host
• User on Host
• Usergroup
• Hostgroup

How aggregation is applied in a report

The minimum aggregation value you can specify is User on Host, which means that this unit that cannot be split further. The values for other available aggregations such as Hours Used/Borrowed, Max Used/Borrowed and Max Usage, are calculated using different aggregation methods (for example sum), based on the calculations of the values set for User on Host for a particular moment of time.

Example

Let’s assume we have selected to show feature usage information by Usergroup. As shown in the diagram below, we can split this usage information into information for particular Users. This information can be split even further into usage for User on Host. This mechanism shows that the values of usage for User are aggregated values of User on Host.

Grouping feature usage information

Depending on your needs, you can group feature usage information by the following units of time:

• Day
• Week
• Month
• Quarter

How grouping by a unit of time works in a report

Grouping by a unit of time lets you group values from specified fields together, providing a single record of, thereby providing a single record of distinct values for each group.
