New Usage Reports for SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer And Skype
Understanding how employees in your company use Office 365 is imperative in helping to drive more usage and getting the best value from your Office 365 investment. The Office 365 admin center now has a new reporting dashboard to help give IT greater visibility across SharePoint, OneDrive for Business, Skype for Business, and Yammer.
The usage reports and reporting dashboard allow you to easily monitor your service and identify opportunities and issues. It gives you metrics to use in reporting to management about your Office 365 investment. The reporting portal also provides a full picture across all main Office 365 services.
Activity Dashboard - A high-level overview of how many people in your company use Office 365. Each service in the Office 365 suite has its own tile that shows key activity data, making it easy to get a quick understanding of the activity.
Email Activity Report - This report allows you to understand email usage, such as send, receive and read activity. You can also monitor trends in email traffic which can be helpful in user migration.
Office Activations Report - Shows which users have been assigned an Office 365 license and have signed into Office 365 on at least one device. This report helps you identify users who have not activated their license yet.
SharePoint Site Usage Report - Provides you with storage consumption details across all your SharePoint sites. The report helps you see activity across sites, how much storage is available, and how the sites are being used for file storage.
OneDrive for Business Usage Report - This report helps you understand storage and sharing activity on OneDrive for Business. This includes number and the size of files stored, in aggregate and per user.
Skype for Business Report - Shows Skype for Business usage, such as minutes spent in a Skype Meeting, peer-to-peer activity like IMs and calls, meetings organized, and meeting participation.
Yammer Report - This report provides details on Yammer engagement such as Like, Read and Post activities.
All reports provide you with both aggregate and user-level information, so you can plan training and communication that helps take full advantage of Office 365. The reports also show information for different timeframes: 7, 30, 90, and 150 days. Reports can be exported in CSV format and opened in a tool like Excel.
IT admins will only have access to information they already have permission to access in the service. You can find detailed log information to audit and track user and admin activities in the Compliance Center.
In the next few months, there will be even more reports focused on SharePoint and OneDrive for Business user activity, Office 365 Groups, email protection and user interaction with Office 365.
