Product Use Metrics

In this release, the product delivers two maintenance objects: Product Metric Type and Product Metric Snapshot.  The product uses algorithms related to these objects to calculate and capture product use metrics.

In previous releases, the product used entries in the Statistics Control and Statistics Snapshot objects to capture product use metrics, causing these tables to include a mixture of statistics related to your implementation's business processes as well as product use metrics.

Implementations do not need to manage or review the information in the new objects. The Product Use Metrics dashboard zones have been updated to display information captured in the Product Metric Snapshot table per the new functionality.

Product metric objects allow for the product to calculate and export product use metrics in objects separate from the statistics control and statistics snapshot objects.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

If your implementation has statistic control entries related to product metrics, they will remain. The Product Use Metric dashboard will no longer use this information with the introduction of the Product Metric Snapshot. Consider marking the records as inactive.

Standard user interface components with associated security are provided for the new objects, but implementations do not need to manage or review the information.
