What is the difference between these two usage metric numbers?

Hi all,

 

I'm generating a usage metrics report for one of our users in HR who is responsible for this report. I was wondering what is the difference between "Report open trend" under the "report usage" blade and "View trend" under "report list" blade. Thank you very much.

@pborah  -  Looking at the documentation, below are the definitions of the two measures. Hope this helps !


Report Open Trend:  The report open trend reflects the view count changes over time for the selected report. It compares the first half of the selected time period with the second half.

View Trend:  The view trend reflects the view count changes over time (inlcudes all the reports in the workspace). It compares the first half of the selected time period with the second half.

Also, I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped.  It is a token of appreciation!

Thank you very much !
