explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft is enhancing the Microsoft 365 admin center with new analytics tools for Microsoft Search, set to roll out in October 2024. These tools will provide deeper insights into how users interact with search features and Microsoft Graph connections.
Think of it like upgrading from a basic car dashboard to a high-tech one. Previously, admins had access to limited information, much like an older car that only shows speed and fuel level. With this update, it's like getting a new dashboard that not only shows speed and fuel but also provides real-time data on engine performance, tire pressure, and navigation. This allows for a more comprehensive understanding of how the car (or in this case, the search function) is performing and what might need attention.
The new Query analytics page will help admins see how search queries are distributed and how often users engage with different search results. It's like a store manager getting a report on which products customers are looking at most and which ones they're buying. This can help in deciding where to focus marketing efforts or inventory.
The Connection analytics page will offer insights into user engagement with Microsoft Graph connections, showing metrics like the number of unique users and how often they return. Imagine it as a fitness tracker for your network connections, showing how often they're used and which ones are most popular. This information can help in optimizing resources and improving user experience.
These changes will be implemented automatically, so there's no need for immediate action from admins. However, reviewing current configurations and informing relevant team members about these updates can ensure a smooth transition. The new analytics pages will be available by mid-October 2024, providing a more detailed view of search and connection activities within Microsoft 365.
