Is there a way to run a report to see Layout Template use? I want to be able to see who is assigned to each layout template and if there are no assignments, I can delete it.

To see if a layout template is being assigned go into a specific layout template and clicking Assign this to. If there is no one listed, it's unusued. In the screenshot I attached you see that I'm the only user, job role, team, or group assigned to the layout template called Admin | Trainer.

However, if Layout Templates are assigned by job role, team, or group, I suspect it can become confusing to determine just how often one those "bulk" assignments is being applied. In my Users area, I have a Grouping for effectiveUITemplate name. Apply this and collapse the results to see a list of the layout templates that users see. Anything not there is unused. (I also use that effectiveUITemplate field as a column in one of my views.)

I've never been able to successfully run a collection column on layout template reports to get this information. I typically run a report of users with their layout templates in a column and group by it. Then compare and contrast against the layout templates in the System to remove them.

there's an "Active User Audit" report in the "System Administrator Maintenance Dashboard" blueprint that you can install and use, that will give you that information.

@jhulet the dashboard Skye is referring to is here: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/workfront-discussions/released-system-admin-maintenance-dashboard/m-p/550997#M102 

But I think the layout template report will only show layout templates assigned to users, not unassigned layout templates…
