The Reports page is part of the Altium Dashboard. This page provides a range of license usage monitoring and reporting features for On-Demand licensing. These reports can be used to audit how your licenses are used within your organization. This is useful for ensuring that the best use is being made of the available license seats, for anticipating future license requirements, and to determine the usage of individual users.

Reporting is available irrespective of version of Altium Designer being used.

Supported Reports

The following types of report are available:

  • Real-Time Usage
  • Usage History
  • Usage Log
  • Time Log

Switch between these report types using the drop-down field at the top of the page (hover over the name of the reporting type currently being used).

Real-Time Usage

As it's name suggests, this type of report provides a detailed summary of how the On-Demand licenses - associated to your Altium account - are currently being used within your organization. By default, all On-Demand licenses that are actually being used will be listed. Use the filtering field (whose non-filtered text displays as Licenses Search) to narrow the report to specific licenses as required. Filtering can be by license (product) name, or by activation code - click Apply to effect your defined filtering.

Filtering persists for your active AltiumLive session - when you sign out and back in again, all filtering will revert back to default settings.

As an administrator for your account, you can force release any seat of a license, that is currently being used. To do so, simply locate the user of the applicable license, and click the  control, to the right. A confirmation dialog will appear - click OK to proceed with the release.

Usage History

This type of report provides a detailed history of how the On-Demand licenses - associated to your Altium account - have been used within your organization. By default, the report lists usage for the previous month, across all used On-Demand licenses, groups and users. Use the associated reporting filters at the top of the page to tailor the results to:

  • A specific Time Interval - either the previous month, previous quarter, previous year, or a customized reporting interval of your choosing.
  • Include specific licenses and/or groups and/or users, as required - in effect filtering results by these settings.
  • Group the results by a specific time frame (Year, Quarter, Month, Week, or Day) and optionally one or more other fields (Product Name, Activation Code, User, Group). For example, you might want to see license usage over a particular timeframe, and group that by your defined groups - so selecting Group in the And drop-down field. Extending this further, you could group by Group and Product Name, to get a history of usage of every product for every group.

Don't forget to click the Apply button to effect your defined changes.

Filtering persists for your active AltiumLive session - when you sign out and back in again, all filtering will revert back to default settings.
