Introduction
After undertaking the exercise of building key
performance indicators and rolling them out
to users, organizations often find themselves
wondering how much use the system is receiving.
We received many customer requests to provide
information of this nature as part of Statit
piMD—things like:
Driven largely by these requests, Statit piMD
3.0 introduced a number of “Usage Reports”
designed to quickly and accurately answer these
questions for users who have been grated access
to these reports. Following is a brief
discussion of these reports and how they can
be used to maximize user success with Statit
piMD.
Usage Report
The report we will focus on here is appropriately
enough called the "Usage Report".
Here is an image showing some typical output
from this report:
To Statit piMD users, this output will look
familiar. If you are not a current user of Statit
piMD, we recommend you view
our 10 minute guided tour to familiarize
yourself with the application.
In the lower left hand frame, there are a series
of options that can be selected to customize
the report output. Once selected, clicking 'Display'
will display a table similar to the one seen
in the right hand frame.
The first two columns of the report show information
about the user. "User Name" is the
user's full name (if specified), while the "Login
Name" is the name they use to login to
the system. The "Last Login" column
shows the time the corresponding user last logged
in, while the "Logins" column shows
the total number of logins during the selected
period. The final three columns show measurements
of time - those being longest duration, average
duration and total duration.
Analyzing this report can be helpful in identifying
how well users are taking advantage of the system
. For example, users with a smaller than expected
number of logins might benefit from a reminder
that the system is available. A larger number
of logins but a relatively short average or
total duration might be indicative of users
who are making an effort to use the system,
but are unsure as to the appropriate way to
do so. These users might benefit from additional
training. Of course, when these numbers fall
within expected ranges this is an excellent
indicator that the system is being used as intended.
Additional Reports
In addition to the Usage Report, there are additional
reports that provide information such as:
