Usage Report
The Usage Report screen is the compliance comparison: for each (Application, Component), it shows the observed user counts side-by-side with the subscribed quantity, and computes the compliance delta. Positive means within entitlement, negative means over-consumption.
It is the chart you take to the licensing audit — and the one that drives the Financial Report.
At a glance
Goal of the view
For each (Application, Component):
- Where do we stand? Compliance = Subscribed − Users used (or active users when known). A positive value is underutilisation — possible right-sizing opportunity. A negative value is over-consumption — a true compliance gap.
- Make the audit conversation factual. The numbers come straight from the OUT data set joined to the contractual
LICENSE_CSI_COMPONENTSaggregation per application. - Spot the costly gaps fast. Sort Compliance ascending — every negative row is a topic for the renewal discussion.
Columns
| Column | Source | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Application ID | APPS_ID — application identifier. | The connected application. |
| Component | CPT_ID — licence component. | The licence bucket. |
| Users count | USERS_COUNT — distinct users observed on the component. | Total observed cohort. |
| Active users count | ACTIVE_USERS_COUNT — count restricted to currently active users. | Tighter cohort used in the compliance formula when available. |
| Subscribed | SUBSCRIBED — entitlement aggregated from LICENSE_CSI_COMPONENTS. | Contractual quantity for the application × component. |
| Compliance | COMPLIANCE — signed delta. | Positive = within entitlement, negative = over-consumption. |
The formula: COMPLIANCE = SUBSCRIBED − (ACTIVE_USERS_COUNT or USERS_COUNT when no active count is available).
Tips & best practices
- Negative Compliance rows are the audit fail list. Each one has to be either subscribed up or remediated by user / right cleanup.
- A positive compliance with high Users count is a candidate for down-sizing at the next renewal — bring it to procurement.
- Components with subscription = 0 but users > 0 indicate a component used without contractual coverage. Either the procurement record is incomplete or the component is being used outside the contract scope.
- Combine with OUT — Components to dig into who is on the component when the compliance is negative.
