Table of contents Key Task: Analyze the Usage of Activities (Analyze Activity Volume) Application Owners can use the Analyze Activity Volume dashboard to view an application's usage patterns, where it is used, why and by whom. For upgrades or new deployments, you can show its adoption, or compare the productivity between different locations. When you understand the usage patterns and volumes, you can better plan for future releases, by investing in the most popular aspects of the application. For example, you can view the success of a rollout or new initiative by validating the adoption rate of your application in each location over time, by choosing Breakdown > Business Locations. Alternatively you can plan an enhancement or update to your deployment based on viewing an application's productivity in different locations. Select Breakdown > Status to view the performance of the application, and then selecting alternative locations in the Filters section to compare results. The Analyze Activity Volume dashboard Since this is an Analyze dashboard, you can slice and dice the data to suit your purposes. For example, you can display similar activities (like opening a file from a server) for several different applications to view the performance of this activity in different locations. As another example, you can validate whether more people are using the application with your virtual application server, by selecting a Breakdown of Device Types and viewing the volumes of people using virtual applications versus regular desktops. Example: Viewing recent adoption of virtual applications ProcedureStep 1 Open a browser and log in to Aternity. Step 2 Select Main Menu > Analyze > Activity Volume. Accessing the Analyze Application Usage dashboard Step 3 Choose the volumes you want to display over the timeframe, by selecting the Breakdown field in the panel on the right hand side. Note When you choose a Breakdown, the dashboard displays graphs with all the values of that attribute. When you choose a Filter (a menu with similar items to the breakdown), you must also choose a value, to display only the data where this filter item has that value. For example, if you select Status as your breakdown, it displays volumes of each activity status over the timeframe of the dashboard. You can narrow the data further by choosing an attribute and its value in the Filters section in the right hand panel, to view only the data when the attribute had that value. For example, you can filter for small mobile devices only by selecting Filters > Device Type > Smartphones. Tip The system only offers to narrow data with filter values which are available. The system does not offer values which have not been reported to the system. For example, if you select Week Number as your filter, it will only display the weeks for which monitoring data is available.
