Specify the Usage Tracking Database

Before you can track usage of reports, dashboards, and data visualization workbooks on your system, you must specify the database where you want to store the usage tracking data in your semantic model.

The database you specify must have at least one schema defined. The system creates usage tracking tables in the schema whose name matches the user name you specify in the database connection details. For example, if the name of a schema in the usage tracking database is “UT_Schema”, you must specify "UT_Schema" in the User Name field for the connection. The usage tracking-tables are created in the schema named “UT_Schema”.

You must configure the database and connection pool details in the physical layer of your semantic model. Use Semantic Modeler or the Model Administration Tool to configure the usage tracking database.
