How is Views by User defined in Usage Metrics?

 

In Report Server, after clicking on Usage Metrics, how is Views by Users defined?

 

If I am a user, and I open a dashboard to view in Report Server, and then refresh the browser, does this count as 2 views or 1 view? Or is there some other explanations?

 

 

I checked the below link but it does not explain this.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/service-usage-metrics

 

Thank you!

  • Hi data23f,

     

    Every refresh of report will increment the report view count for usage metrics. For your scenario, it will count as 2 views.

  • Is this feature even available on the on-premises PBI Report Server or Service only feature?

      Hi pbx,

       

      Usage metrics report feature is only available on Power BI service. Power BI report server doesn't support it currently.

        So then it would be best to move this thread to PBI Service section of the forums to avoid confusion.
