Usage analytics dashboards serve as a centralized view of various asset and user trends from Data Governance and Catalog and Metadata Command Center. Over a period of time, the dashboards provide a picture of the activity in your organization.
To activate the dashboards, an administrator enables usage analytics on the Configure page in Metadata Command Center. Administrators can grant dashboard access through privileges to Data Governance and Catalog users and user groups.
Usage analytics dashboards contain widgets that display a range of metrics. The predefined metrics configured for these widgets vary depending on the dashboard type. When you configure a widget, you can select the metric that you want to visualize for a specific usage trend.
You can customize usage analytics dashboards by cloning the dashboards. On the cloned dashboards, you can add and configure widgets to show metric data for specific asset and user operations such as user count, asset curation trends, and login trends.
You can mange and access the following system-generated usage analytics dashboards from the Manage Dashboards menu in Data Governance and Catalog:
•Asset Dashboard
•User Adoption Dashboard
In Metadata Command Center, administrators can control the metrics that are visible to users. When you select a metric to restrict from display, the widget configured with that metric is only visible to users who have the View Restricted Metrics privilege.
The following table lists the metrics that administrators can restrict from display in Metadata Command Center:
Metric

Consider the following rules and guidelines for usage analytics dashboards:
•Users who have dashboard privileges can share dashboards with other users, roles, and groups.
•Metric data is collected from the time of enablement. If you disable usage analytics, a job is initiated to purge the collected metric data and deactivate the dashboards.
•A scheduled job to collect metric data runs daily. Dashboard data updates only after the job completes each day.
•You can use date filters to access metric data for the last 90 days and view data for a custom date or time range. For certain filters, such as Last Week, Last Month, and Last 12 Months, no data is displayed if the filters refer to periods before data collection.
•You can view differences in values on summary widgets for various time ranges. From the Time Range filter, select a date filter or set a custom time range to view differences in values.
