Usage Report

connectDaily offers a very flexible usage report. Some of the reports you can create using this screen are:

• Resource Usage
• Calendar Usage
• Resource Usage by Calendar, Event Owner, etc.

To get started, enter the start and end dates for the report.

Select the data value you want to appear in the Row Values dropdown. Available choices, are Calendars, Resources, Event Types, Event Owners, Resource Types, and Event Contacts.

Select the column heading you want. If you don't select a column heading, you get a simple list report as shown below.

Finally, select what you want to show. Available options include the duration of the events in hours, the count of events, and the count of other variables.

If you select a column heading, you'll get a report that looks like this:

If your report includes resources, and you have more than one resource on an event, the results can be different than a report without resources. For example:

The difference is because events using more than one resource are counted once for each resource.

Tips

• Only approved events are examined.
• Recurring events are counted once for each recurrence during the report period. For example, if you have a staff meeting every day at 8:00 AM then that event would be counted once for each day.
• If an event is a setup/teardown event, then these rules apply:
  • If the report involves resources or resource types, the setup/teardown event is examined and the parent event is discarded. This is so that resource usage is not double-counted.
  • If the report does not involve resources, then setup/teardown events are discarded so that events are not double-counted.
• You can copy the table containing the data using your browser's copy/paste function and then paste it into other programs like spreadsheets or word processors for additional manipulation.
