Tracking when users access a report
Hi AlB
You can download the audit logs and build Power BI reports with the data. There are various ways to automate this see:
Build Your Own Power BI Audit Log; Usage Metrics Across the Entire Tenant - RADACAD
for a simple method, and
Set up audit log components - Power Platform | Microsoft Docs
for more powerful options.
Hope this helps

I have been using the built-in Usage Metrics Report to track user engagement for over a year now. However, the resulting reports were recently challenged by a user that accesses PBI dashboards daily. The issue at hand is that it appears the PBI Service does not record an "impression" until after the user interacts with the Report or Dashboard in some way (clicking on a field, changing a slicer, etc.). The gap is that for efficient reports that require no interaction the PBI Usage Metrics Report fails to record the user's view and, thus, under reports user engagement.
Is the interaction requirement an absolute limitation or is there a means to record views independent of user "clicks"?
