How we calculate the Microsoft 365 apps health score

We calculate your Microsoft 365 apps health score by measuring the number of devices on each update channel. We also determine whether the devices are running a supported version, and the most current release of Microsoft 365 apps.

We provide a primary insight in the experience that contains the key metrics for this category. Then, a scoring framework, detailed in the following sections, is used to calculate your score.

Primary insight

The primary insight is calculated from devices that are running Microsoft 365 Apps on recommended updated channel.

Information considered for this include Microsoft 365 apps channel, build, and version that is running on the device.

1. Header: Shows percentage of devices on recommended update channel
2. Body: Provides more information on how running the devices on recommended update channel will help getting latest update and running current versions on devices.
3. Visualization (current state):
   • Horizontal bars where the blue-colored portions represent the percentage of devices running recommended updated channel.
   • Highlight the (numerator/denominator) of the fraction used to calculate the percentage expressed in horizontal bars.
   • Peer Benchmark value for devices running on recommended updated channel is also shown as a percentage.

Trend visualization of the primary insight

The following chart shows the number of devices in the recommended update channel over the last 180 days. The data point on the line chart is an aggregate of activity for the last 28 days.
