License Consumption Report
The License Consumption report displays a listing of users, by collection, who have consumed a license. It also notes the name of the audience that the user is a member of and that is associated to the collection's license pool (which entitles the user to that collection).
Report Insights
The License Consumption report gives you insights into who from your organization is consuming licenses. You can:
- Check which users are consuming licenses.
- See which audience a user is part of that allows them to access certain collections.
- Use this report to evaluate that your users are using the licenses they are assigned to. This way, you can ensure you are getting the most out of your organization's licenses.
Get Started
To access the report and customize it for your needs:
- From left navigation bar, select Content > License Consumption.
-
Specify filters, then select Run report to view the report data in the current window. If your filters are too broad, allowing for an excessive amount of data, the report may stall. If this happens, adjust your filters and rerun. This may occur, for example, if your date range is too large or you choose to include all videos.
To download your report with selected filters, you must select Run report first before you select Download report. After you chose Download report, a message displays with a link to the Reports download tab. Select the link to view the CSV download progress and/or open the CSV file. If you do not run the report first, the CSV download uses the default filters.
Filters
- Date filters: The Date filters apply to the CONSUMED column.
- Date Range Presets: A drop-down list of date ranges that filters the data to the selected range. Select Custom to enter specific dates.
- Start: Instead of using a Date Range preset, use this to specify a start date. When you enter a Start date, the Date Range Presets filter changes to Custom.
- End: Instead of using a Date Range preset, use this to specify an end date. When you enter an End date, the Date Range Presets filter changes to Custom.
- Audience: Predefined group of users. Enter the name of an audience and then select it from the list. You can display the data for multiple audiences at the same time by entering more than one audience name. You can select up to 20 audiences.
- User: Individual with a Skillsoft Platform user account. Enter a user's name to filter the report to include that user. You can display data for up to 20 users at the same time by typing in more than one user name.
