Usage Definition
I noticed that if users keep the report open overnight and click on filters or other pages, the actions won't be recorded as additional unique views. How do we define "open" a report? If a user refreshes the URL the next day(by UTC definition), should that be counted as a unique view?
Here is the definition from the documentation.
PageMetricDescription
| Report usage | Report views | A report view is recorded each time someone opens a report. Note that the definition of a view differs from previous usage metrics reports. Changing report pages is no longer considered an additional view. Activities such as sharing and pinning are no longer considered in usage metrics. |
| Report usage | Unique viewers | A viewer is someone who opened the report at least once during the time period (based on the AAD user account). |

Based on my research, I think the report was opened actually means it was hosted in the memory, no matter how long it exists in the memory, as long as it wasn't evicted . it was counted as once.

- I would interpret it as if the user has it open for a period of 24 hours it will only be counted once.
And then for the next 24 hours it would be counted againThe test result shows that if a user has the report open for 48 hours without doing anything to it (he may still be using the report the next day), the user gets a total of 1 unique view. It matters to my team as we are using these numbers to monitor usage and noticed the numbers may not capture all the valid usage behavior.
- Hi there
Is this different from the Audit event logs?
