Resolution

Here is a breakdown of each of the Calculations provided in the Customer Usage Data report:

Total Users

  • Sum of Total Active & Total Inactive Users (below)
  • Query determines if the login is admin or user by checking login_type which shows 'A' for admin and 'U' for user

Total Active Users

  • Sum of users that have Active set to "Yes"
  • User record has been updated within date range specified in report filter:
    • The SQL adds a filter that checks that the Student ID has had some activity in the Student History table (ph_student), or Last Updated in the Student table (pa_student) falls within the specified date range

Total Inactive Users

  • Sum of users that have Active set to "No"
  • User record has been updated within date range specified in report filter:
    • The SQL adds a filter that checks that the Student ID has had some activity in the Student History table (ph_student), or Last Updated in the Student table (pa_student) falls within the specified date rang

Total User Logins

  • Sum of User Logins which are tracked in the pa_login_session_info table
  • The SQL filters on the login time falling between dates specified in report filter

Total Unique User Logins

  • Sum of distinct/unique logins from the pa_login_session_info table
  • If a date time frame is specified, it will filter on the login time falling between those date
  • If the User logged in multiple times within the time frame specified in the report filter, then they will only be counted once
  • For example:
    • UserA logged in 5 times between May 1st and May 6th
    • For Unique Logins, UserA will count as 1
    • For Total Logins, UserA will count as 5

Average Daily User Logins

  • Average number of logins based on the sum of Total User Logins divided by the total number of days in the time frame specified in the report filter:
    • [Total User Logins]/[Day Count]
    • Where Day Count = total number of days within the date range selected in the report filter

Average Unique Daily User Logins

  • Average based on Total Unique User Logins divided by total number of days determined by the dates specified in the report filter
    • [Total Unique User Logins]/[Day Count]
    • Where Day Count = total number of days within the date range selected in the report filter

Average Concurrent Users

  • Queries the pa_login_session_info table and checks User Login Times
  • Counts the number of times there were concurrent logins (Users logged in at the same time)
  • Sums the total number of concurrent logins that occurred
  • Averages that number by taking the sum of concurrent logins and divides by the count of total concurrent logins
    • [Sum of Concurrent User Logins]/[Total Count of Concurrent User Logins]
  • Example:
    • 5 Users logged in April 1st at noon
    • 3 Users logged in April 1st at 3pm
    • 8 would be the sum of those counts
    • 2 would be the number of times there were concurrent logins
    • The Average would be 8/2 = 4

Max Concurrent Users

  • Queries the pa_login_session_info
  • Finds the times there were concurrent logins (Users logged in at the same time)
  • Performs a max function on those times to show the highest number of concurrent logins
  • Example:
    • 5 Users logged in April 1st at noon
    • 3 Users logged in April 1st at 3pm
    • Max concurrently logins would be 5

Total Admin Logins

  • Sum of Admin Logins which are tracked in the pa_login_session_info table
  • Query determines if the login is admin or user by checking login_type which shows 'A' for admin and 'U' for user

Total Unique Admin Logins

  • Sum of distinct/unique logins from the pa_login_session_info table
  • If a date time frame is specified, it will filter on the login time falling between those date
  • If the Admin logged in multiple times within the time frame specified in the report filter, then they will only be counted once
  • For example:
    • Admin1 logged in 5 times between May 1st and May 6th
    • For Unique Logins, Admin1 will count as 1
    • For Total Logins, Admin1 will count as 5
  • Query determines if the login is admin or user by checking login_type which shows 'A' for admin and 'U' for user

Average Daily Admin Logins

  • Average number of logins based on the sum of Total Admin Logins divided by the total number of days in the time frame specified in the report filter:
    • [Total Admin Logins]/[Day Count]
    • Where Day Count = total number of days within the date range selected in the report filter
  • Query determines if the login is admin or user by checking login_type which shows 'A' for admin and 'U' for user

Average Unique Daily Admin Logins

  • Average based on Total Unique Admin Logins divided by total number of days determined by the dates specified in the report filter
    • [Total Unique Admin Logins]/[Day Count]
    • Where Day Count = total number of days within the date range selected in the report filter
  • Query determines if the login is admin or user by checking login_type which shows 'A' for admin and 'U' for user

Average Concurrent Admins

  • Queries the pa_login_session_info table and checks Admin Login Times
  • Counts the number of times there were concurrent logins (Admins logged in at the same time)
  • Sums the total number of concurrent logins that occurred
  • Averages that number by taking the sum of concurrent logins and divides by the count of total concurrent logins
    • [Sum of Concurrent Admin Logins]/[Total Count of Concurrent Admin Logins]
  • Example:
    • 5 Admins logged in April 1st at noon
    • 3 Admins logged in April 1st at 3pm
    • 8 would be the sum of those counts
    • 2 would be the number of times there were concurrent logins
    • The Average would be 8/2 = 4
  • Query determines if the login is admin or user by checking login_type which shows 'A' for admin and 'U' for user

Max Concurrent Admins

  • Queries the pa_login_session_info
  • Finds the times there were concurrent logins (Admins logged in at the same time)
  • Performs a max function on those times to show the highest number of concurrent logins
  • Example:
    • 5 Admins logged in April 1st at noon
    • 3 Admins logged in April 1st at 3pm
    • Max concurrently logins would be 5
  • Query determines if the login is admin or user by checking login_type which shows 'A' for admin and 'U' for user

Total Item Completions

  • Queries the pa_cpnt_evthist (Learning Event History table)
  • Determines Total Items to be internal + external completions
  • Filters that the completion date is within the time frame specified in the report filter

Average Item Completions

  • Takes the Total Item Completions and divides it by the Total number of Users
    • [Total Item Completions]/[Total Users]
