Usage Over Time Report

A Usage Over Time report creates a line graph that shows the maximum number of licenses in use over a period of time. This report enables you to see the average number of licenses being used over a specified time period, and can reflect usage trends.

The horizontal axis of the line graph is time, scaled to fit all of the data for one feature into one window. The vertical axis is the number of licenses used. For each feature, two lines are plotted: one representing available licenses and one representing used licenses.

In the Output Options page, you can omit the line for available licenses by clearing the Show Available Licenses check box.
