View report to see last usage (date and by whom)

I created a idea exchange on this. https://experience.workfront.com/s/idea/0870z000000Xhg5AAC/detail Michelle Bowden Fiserv ETG

I haven't seen where you can see who is using which views. Only reports.

Hi Michelle, Workfront pushed out a standard view awhile back - you should have it when you go in to your Reports section and in the View dropdown you should see an option for 'Report Usage'. I would contact support if you are not seeing this. Thanks, Sarah Sarah Nau

@Heather Kulbacki does this work for views not reports? I can't figure out how to see who if anyone is using a view. Michelle Bowden Fiserv ETG

Hi Michelle, Viewing report usage is definitely possible now. If you go to your list of reports, you can create a view that contains usage columns. I use Last Viewed Date, Last 10 Viewers, Views this Month, Views this Quarter, Views This Year, and Views Last Year. I also include columns for which dashboards the report is on, who created the report, who it is shared with, and when it was last updated. I also have another report that pulls in any report that hasn't been opened in the past year, grouped by who created it. I pull this report quarterly and send it to anyone who created a report that hasn't been used to see if we can delete it.

bringing this post to life again as it is the only one I found discussing this issue, but without resolve. hoping maybe since it has been 3 years, there is now a solution for being able to see view usage. we would really like to clean this up. Michelle Bowden Fiserv ETG

Hi Melinda, I see what you mean with the Object Type report, it does give you a sense of what's highly used, the only issue I have with this is that it doesn't report on the multi-form object. Cheers.

Hi Polly, I logged a feature request for this back in March this year. I have just posted a comment on it asking for an update. If anyone else wants this, please sumbit a feature request too! Regards, David

For custom forms you can report on the object type of the forms (project, task, issue, etc) and group by category name (which is the primary custom form name). If you matrix by creation date you can get a good feel for usage of each form and which have been retired. If you have a few stragglers and still need the data, you could create a calculated field with a name like archive_values_custom_form_name and capture the value of any fields you need to save. You can also add a column to the custom fields view to see which fields are no longer on any forms and can be deleted.
