Teams apps usage report in Partner Center

The Teams apps usage report shows rich and actionable usage insights for each published Teams store app. You can use this report to understand who is using your app and how they’re using it to be able to answer questions such as:

• How many monthly, weekly, and daily active users does my app have?
• Are these new users, returning users, resurrected users, or lapsed users?
• Are these users using my app more than five days in a given month?
• What is the active user breakdown by platform/operating system?

Data for a newly published app can take about five days to appear in the report. The data for a given day appears within 48 hours. For example, data for January 10 should appear in the report around January 12.

Filter the report

You can filter the report by aggregation type, app name, and by other dimensions.

Filter by aggregation type and app

At the top of the report, you see two filters:

• Aggregation type – Each of the insights in the report are aggregated by user counts and tenant counts (count of unique customers using your app). You can choose which aggregation type you want to explore for each of the subsequent metrics.
• App name – Provides a list of Teams store apps that you published. The insights in this report are specific to the app you select.

Filter by other Dimensions

In addition to filtering by Aggregation type and App name, you can further filter all subsequent insights by the key dimensions you choose: Platform, OS, Countries/regions.

1. In the upper-right of the page, select the filter icon.

   

2. Select the filters you want from the Platform, OS, and Countries/regions lists, and then select Save.

   

Note

To restore the default settings, select Reset.

You can use any combination of Aggregation type, App name, and other key dimensions to filter the data in the report.

Elements of the Teams app usage report

Once you’ve filtered the page the way you want, the data is displayed on the page in several widgets.

All active users widget

The All active users widget enumerates the number of active users/tenants who opened or used this app across different time-periods. You can zoom into a specific date range by holding down the left mouse button and dragging your cursor over a selected time-period. To zoom out again, select the minus sign.

This table defines the different time-periods you can choose.

Time-Period	Definition

Weekly (R7)	The count of distinct users or tenants who opened your app in a given RL7 (Rolling 7 day) period.
Daily	The count of distinct users or tenants who opened your app in a given RL1 (Rolling 1 day) period.

Retention and Intensity widget

The Retention and intensity chart includes a combination of active usage, user churn, and usage intensity metrics.

You can zoom into a specific date range by holding down the left mouse button and dragging your cursor over a selected time-period. To zoom out again, select the minus sign.

You can choose which metrics you want to view in the chart by unselecting metric(s) in the legend.

Usage by platform and Usage by operating system widgets

The Usage by platform and Usage by operating system widgets focus on grouping active users/tenants by endpoint for the current RL30 (Rolling 30 day) time-period.

Note

The same user/tenant can use an app on multiple endpoints.

Available Operating System endpoints:

• Windows
• Mac
• iOS
• Android
