1.4.4.11.  Statistics " tab page

Various methods for statistical evaluations are available on the Statistics [Statistic] tab page.

Example: Rejections per product [Rejections by product]

Example: Rejections per product [Rejections by product]

The procedure as overview

  1. Select a statistic type:

    • Usage by product

    • Activity per product

    • Activity per user

    • Activity per host

    • Rejections by product

    • Rejections by user

    • Rejections by computer

    • Usage by product

    -> On the right side diagram and table are displayed.

    [Note]Note

    If there is no display, then too strong restrictions have been made.

    Change the settings in the Restrictions [Limits] dialog area: Possibly start date [Start date] and end date [End date] or open the list fields of Products, Users [User], Computers [Computer] and deactivate checkboxes.

    Now a diagram display should happen.

  2. The column display below the diagram depends on the selected type of statistic.

    Show or hide the desired columns in the Columns dialog area.

  3. Make adjustments in the Restrict dialog area.

  • Selected statistic

    • Usage by product

      The Occupancy by product [Usage by product] statistic shows the maximum available floating licenses and the maximum number of occupancies in the set period for all available products listed individually. If the number of floating [In use (floating)] licenses is very close to the number of available licenses, an increase in capacity should be considered, even if no rejections have yet occurred. See also the statistics types Rejections per product [Rejections by product], Rejections per user [Rejections by user] and Rejections per computer [Rejections by computer].

      This type of statistic is especially suitable for analyses over a longer period (month, year).

      Available:

      All issued Floating licenses.

      Occupied (floating) [In use (floating)]:

      The highest value that has ever occurred in the set period is shown under Occupied (floating) [In use (floating)].

      Occupied (reserved) [In use (reserved)]:

      Reserved licenses are a subset of floating [In use (floating)] licenses.

      • The Borrow [Checkouts] tab page is used to administratively determine whether users are allowed to check out/borrow floating licenses. Detailed information on this can be found at Section 1.4.4.6, “ Lending " tab page ”.

      • The loan is made in the respective module under ? -menu -> Licenses (F9) -> Checkout tab page. See Section 5.5.1.5, “ Checkout " tab page”" tab page.

        This reduces the number of floating licenses available for the predetermined loan period.

        A floating license can be "reserved" for a certain period of time, e.g. on a trip.

      Occupied (total) [Used (sum)]: Corresponds to Occupied (floating) [In use (floating)].

    • Activity per product

      This statistic type is especially suitable for shorter periods of time, let's say 7:00 to 12:00 of a certain day. You can recognize the level of fluctuation, in relation to a certain product. High fluctuation confirms, that your decision for Floating licenses is correct.

      Occupancy [License pulls] and releases [Shares] count events in a specific period. If the analysis period is chosen unfavourably (e.g. 8:00 am to 12:00 noon), although work starts at 7:00 am (this is when the licenses are occupied), the releases may be higher than the occupancies.

      Occupancy [License pulls]:

      Single events of license pulls are counted.

      Approvals [Shares]:

      Single events of license releases are counted.

      Rejections:

      Rejections can only occur, when there is no license available anymore at the moment of request.

      If there are rejections, then the amount of Floating licenses should be increased.

    • Activity per user

      Analysis of user behavior. Many rejections? High fluctuation at license pulls and releases?

      Occupancy [License pulls]:

      Single events of license pulls are counted.

      Approvals [Shares]:

      Single events of license releases are counted.

      Rejections:

      Rejections can only occur, when there is no license available anymore at the moment of request.

      If there are rejections, then the amount of Floating licenses should be increased.

    • Activity per host

      Similar analysis objective as with "Activity per user". Interesting when there are users with variable workplaces.

      Occupancy [License pulls]:

      Single events of license pulls are counted.

      Approvals [Shares]:

      Single events of license releases are counted.

      Rejections:

      Rejections can only occur, when there is no license available anymore at the moment of request.

      If there are rejections, then the amount of Floating licenses should be increased.

    • Rejections by product

      Rejections:

      Rejections can only occur, when there is no license available anymore at the moment of request.

      Rejections show that the amount of Floating licenses should be increased.

    • Rejections by user

      Rejections:

      Rejections can only occur, when there is no license available anymore at the moment of request.

      Rejections show that the amount of Floating licenses should be increased.

    • Rejections by computer

      Rejections:

      Rejections can only occur, when there is no license available anymore at the moment of request.

      Rejections show that the amount of Floating licenses should be increased.

    • Usage by product

      How many different users and/or computers use which product?

      Is the number of computers higher than the number of users? This would show that there are users with variable workplaces.

      Number of computers:

      Number of users:

  • Show legend

    An additional legend is displayed (also in print).

  • Display as a line chart [Show as line graph]:

    The depiction is changed from bar graph to line graph.

  • Columns

    Depending on the chosen statistic the respective columns are displayed.

    Hide not needed columns by clearing the checkbox.

  • Restrict

    Here you can filter by: Start date, End date, Products, Users [User], Calculator [Computer]

    Use the list box to select the desired values. For products [Products], users [User] and computers [Computer], you can select any number of values using the checkboxes.

    After making changes, please click on the Refresh [Update] button.

      Print the result of the statistic evaluation.

      [Note]Note

      If the Show legend option is activated, this will also appear in the printout.
