User Adoption Liveboard
Use the User Adoption Liveboard to understand how your users are interacting with ThoughtSpot, and how your user adoption changes over time. You must have admin privileges to view this Liveboard.
The User Adoption Liveboard contains essential information about your ThoughtSpot users and their adoption of the platform. Use this Liveboard to understand weekly active users, inactive users, top 10 ad hoc searchers, popular Liveboards, and so on.
"Active user" refers to any user who has completed a user action, such as saving an Answer or opening a Liveboard, at least once within a certain time frame. Any action that requires a backend API call is captured within the User Adoption Liveboard’s underlying Worksheet. If a user logs in to ThoughtSpot but does not perform any action, they are not included in the "active user" count.
| If your organization uses multi-tenancy with Orgs, you must be a cluster administrator to view the User Adoption Liveboard, not an Org administrator. |
Users with admin privileges can share system Liveboards, such as the User Adoption Liveboard, with other users who do not have admin privileges. However, be aware that you may be sharing sensitive user-level information, such as the names of objects that a user accessed.
To view this Liveboard, navigate to the Admin Console by selecting Admin from the top navigation bar. Select User adoption from the side navigation bar.
If your organization uses multi-tenancy with Orgs, ensure that you are in the Primary Org, in the All orgs section of the Admin Console.
