Usage metrics - how are views calculated?

[AliceW]

Hi guys,

I'm wondering how is a 'view' calculated.

The definition provided is here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/service-usage-metrics

" a view is defined as a user loading a report page or dashboard."

But say someone keeps the report tab open all day, and then

- clicks on the tab 'reload' 4 times.

- within the report, clicks on, say, the filters and reorder the columns 20 times.

- cliks on the 'refresh visuals' 10 times.

At the end of the day, how many views are counted?

Thanks,

Alice

noone talked about the tab being opened and refreshed, does this count?

Hi @AliceW ,

As the document mentioned, a view is defined as a user loading a report page or dashboard means it will be counted when a user open a report or dashboard each time, the total value is the value of Views per day.

A view is a change in the URL or a refresh of a URL.   The terms you use are not very clear (what do you mean by "Refresh all visuals" ?) maybe you can elaborate.
