How do you keep track of report usage
Hello all
I know, there are usage metrics, but as far as i know these are not available for apps. (But will be: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Usage-metrics-invisible/m-p/636267#M63588)
So how do you guys keep track of your report usages?
Many thanks

Currently, both old/new app workspace support usage metrics. However, in some senarios we can't use this feature. Please refer to the condiration and limitation of usage metrics.

Hi v-yuta-msft
Okay great, thanks for the answer.
In the workspaces i have access to the usage metrics, but not in the app. Is this caused because im not an Power BI Service Admin? In the Workspace itself im an Admin.
I asked our Office 365 Admins to add me as an Power BI Service Admin but they said it needs a special license, can you confirm that? Everybody in our company that uses Power BI has a Pro license, i dont think i would need Premium right?
Thanks

Yes, in an app you can't see the usage metrics, only in workspace you can. To view the report usage metrics, you need to be an admin. Report usage metrics don't need a premium license.
