In the world of IT, changes can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when they involve tools and platforms that are integral to daily operations. One such change is happening in the Microsoft 365 admin center, specifically concerning usage reports for various apps. Let’s break it down using a simple analogy.
Imagine you manage a large office building with several rooms, each dedicated to different activities. Previously, you had a report that only told you how often the conference room (Teams) was used. Now, the report is being expanded and renamed to cover not just the conference room, but also the break room (Outlook), the workstations (Microsoft 365 apps), and even the new AI assistant (Copilot extensions). This new report is called the Integrated Apps usage report.
This redesigned report will provide you with a clearer picture of how all these different rooms and tools are being utilized. It’s like having a detailed map showing not just the conference room usage, but also how often people are using the break room, workstations, and interacting with the AI assistant. This helps you understand which areas are popular and which might need more attention or resources.
The report will be divided into two main sections: App Usage and User Activity. Think of App Usage as a log of how often each room or tool is used, and User Activity as a record of who is using them and how. This way, you can see both the overall usage and the specific details of user engagement.
Additionally, the insights will be categorized by different types of apps (like in-house developed apps, partner apps, and Microsoft’s own apps), the main product they are associated with (Teams, Microsoft 365 apps, Outlook, Copilot), and the platform they are used on (Desktop, Mobile, Web). This is similar to having a detailed chart that shows not just which rooms are used, but also whether people are using them for meetings, casual gatherings, or work, and whether they are accessing them from their desks, on the go, or online.
This new report will help you make more informed decisions about resource allocation, user training, and overall productivity enhancements. By understanding the detailed usage patterns, you can better support your team and ensure that everyone has the tools they need to work efficiently.
