Usage metrics help you understand the impact of your dashboards and reports. When you run either dashboard usage metrics or report usage metrics, you discover how those dashboards and reports are being used throughout your organization, who's using them, and for what purpose. Knowing who is taking what action on which item in your Power BI tenant can be critical in helping your organization fulfill its requirements, like meeting regulatory compliance and records management. This module outlines what is available in usage metrics reports and audit logs.

  • Discover what usage metrics are available through the Power BI admin portal
  • Optimize use of usage metrics for dashboards and reports
