Would like statistics on usage of reports

Could be useful to capture statistics about report execution such as:
1. Number of users who have run the report
2. Total number of times the report has been executed
3. Time of execution

Also, over which dashboard / usage it is linked

Could potentially store information about whether a particular user "favourites" or likes the report as well.

This information could then be used to sort reports by "Popularity", "Usage" and "Frequency" of usage

    Thank you for your idea submission. Idea is delivered as part of JRS 7.0.3 and here is a summary:
    1. Number of users who have run the report - RB 7.0.3 provides the time and name of the person who last executed a report. It does not keep count of unique users who run a report.
    2. Total number of times the report has been executed - RB 7.0.3 provides a count of how many times the report has been executed
    3. Time of execution - RB 7.0.3 provides the last report run time
    4. Over which dashboard/usage it is linked - this is not possible today. It would need a foundational app idea. Pls create a separate idea against the ELM Foundation.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each idea suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding, it is accepted as an uncommitted candidate.

    Concerning your questions:

    Number of users who have run the report - RB 7.0.3 beta provides time and name of the person last executed a report. It does not keep count of unique users who run a report. Is this enough?

    This is actually not enough : we would like to have the complete list of the users who did run the report: to have the possibility to inform them that the report has been changed, will be retired, etc...

    Over which dashboard/usage it is linked - this is not possible today. It would need a foundational app idea. Pls create a separate idea.

    This is also an important info to have, so to know in which dashboard, there is a need to modify infos (such as parameters, etc...)

    Thank you for submitting idea/RFE. JRS RFE review board evaluated this request and determined it will need additional time to evaluate this request.

    JRS team updated Report Builder, see https://jazz.net/blog/index.php/2023/03/16/report-builder-7-0-3-beta/ for details. Specifically for your suggestion:
    1. Number of users who have run the report - RB 7.0.3 beta provides time and name of the person last executed a report. It does not keep count of unique users who run a report. Is this enough?
    2. Total number of times the report has been executed - good suggestion. This is not collected today
    3. Time of execution - RB 7.0.3 beta provides time of report execution
    4. Over which dashboard/usage it is linked - this is not possible today. It would need a foundational app idea. Pls create a separate idea.
    5. Potentially store information about whether a particular user "favorites" or likes the report as well - this would be subjective information based on a user preference. It is better to use count under (1) and (2) instead to sort reports by "Popularity", "Usage" or "Frequency".
