You can view important information about your organization’s license usage through the Adobe Experience Platform License usage dashboard. Information displayed here is captured during a daily snapshot of your Platform instance.
License usage reports provide a high degree of granularity over your license usage metrics. The dashboard provides usage metrics for each purchased product, the consolidated usage of metrics in all production or development sandboxes, and the usage metric from a specific sandbox. The following Experience Platform applications can be tracked with usage metrics: Real-Time Customer Data Platform, Adobe Journey Optimizer, and Customer Journey Analytics.
This guide outlines how to access and work with the license usage dashboard in the UI and provides more information regarding the visualizations displayed in the dashboard.
For a general overview of the Platform UI, refer to the Experience Platform UI guide.
License usage dashboard data
The License usage dashboard displays a list of all the Experience Platform products that you have purchased. From this list, you can find a snapshot of your organization’s license-related data for Experience Platform across any associated sandbox.
The data in this dashboard is displayed exactly as it appears at the specific point in time when the snapshot was taken. In other words, the snapshot is not an approximation or sample of the data, and the dashboard is not updating in real time.
Exploring the license usage dashboard
To navigate to the license usage dashboard within the Platform UI, select License usage in the left rail. The Overview tab opens, displaying a list of available products.
Overview tab
This dashboard displays all of your licensed Adobe Experience Platform products, including add-ons, in a table format. The table provides key information about your license usage across all your available profiles.
The table indicates the primary metric for each product, as each product can track numerous metrics.
Summary tab
To view more metrics and detailed insights on your product license usage, select a product name from the list. The Summary view for that product appears. All available metrics are displayed on the Summary tab. The metrics available depend on the licensed product. This view provides a consolidated view of all metrics across all production or development sandboxes. The same level of analysis is provided for both production and development sandboxes.
On the summary tab, the table includes the Metric column. These human-readable descriptions indicate all metrics used for that type of sandbox.
Select a sandbox
To change the view between production and development sandbox types, select either Production sandboxes or Development sandboxes. The selected sandbox type is indicated by the radio button next to the sandbox name.
Consumption reporting for sandboxes is cumulative for all sandboxes of the same type. In other words, selecting Production or Development provides consumption reports for all production or development sandboxes, respectively.
- Create a product profile in the Adobe Admin Console.
- Under Permission in the Sandbox category, add all sandboxes you wish to view in the license usage dashboard.
- Under User Dashboard Permission category, add “View License Usage Dashboard” permission.
The Details tab
To see a particular usage metric from a specific sandbox, navigate to the Details tab. The Details tab shows all the available sandboxes within either the Production or Development sandboxes.
From this view, you can select next to a sandbox name to view the visualization for that metric. A dialog opens with a visualization for that metric.
Visualizations
Each visualization widget includes the following aspects:
- A line graph tracking the metric change over time
- A key for the line graph
- The sandbox name
- A dropdown menu to adjust the time period for the line graph
The line graphs compare usage numbers for your organization to the total available with your organization’s licensing and provide a percentage of total usage.
The lookback period of analysis can be adjusted from the dropdown menu. The default value of the last 30 days
To select a date range, you can use the date range dropdown to select the time period to display in the dashboard. There are multiple options available, including the default value of the last 30 days.
You can also select Custom date to choose the time period that is shown.
