User Adoption Analytics

How to create User Adoption Analytics?

Administrators can build the reports & dashboards in OTBI using below subject areas

• Sales - CRM Resource System Usage: This subject area supports reporting on the interaction with the application by the user.
• Sales - CRM Object Activity: This subject area supports reporting on object activity metrics such as number of records created and number of records updated.
• User System Usage: This subject area supports reporting on whether a user was active or not for a particular day, and what channel they used, and when they were active.
• CRM - CRM Click History: This subject area helps you understand individual, team, and organization usage in your application.
• CRM - CRM Reporting Usage: This subject area let's you see how much your users are looking at their analytics in OTBI.

There are prebuilt reports that can use as a starting point for user adoption. Use these as a template and modify them to suite the business needs. Can download the User Adoption catalog from the User Adoption – Object Activity and Resource System Usage page on Customer Connect

What are the Things to keep in mind while building User Adoption Analytics?

• To be sure the analytics you created in R12 work after you upgrade to 18A+, you should apply the # of Active Days > 0 filter.
• Add a filter for a specific year. The Resource User System Usage subject area shows usage for all Time Periods and Users/Resources. This reporting method tracks when the user is actively using the application and the months where there were no activities/system usage. For this reason you should define specific time filters. Without time filters, the report shows results for the complete 100 years Time dimension.
• Avoid reporting by date. Instead use Month or Quarter.
• Filter by group of users, instead of individual users.
• Apply a filter on the # of Active Days fact > than 0 to ensure the analytic shows positive reporting values
