How can I track user adoption of my Workshop application?

Hi Michael, thank you for the solution. I’m new to Foundry and must have missed something:

  • I created a new Ontology object in Ontology Manager
  • I used the Create action to make a dummy record in Object Explorer
  • I added a new section in my Workshop, added an Object View, selected my new object, and am able to see the dummy data in the UI
  • I saved and published the Workshop

Unfortunately, I refreshed the Ontology Manager’s Usage section, and it still shows “No usage for the last 30 days. Information about how and where this object type is being used will soon be available here.”

What other steps do I need to perform for this “tracking pixel” to display usage data?

For people in the future, we came up with this solution:

  • Create a new Ontology Object with the metadata we wanted
  • Created a Slate app with a form for parameterizing each metric value
  • Add a w_foundry_action_1.validationSuccess action and w_foundry_action_1.submitUpdate event
  • Make the app run our Create Action
  • Add this Slate app to each Workshop where we wanted to track the metrics, made invisible to the user with flex: 0

This makes it so the form invisibly loads when the user visits a workshop and submits the metric data automatically. Hope it’s helpful to others.

What are the latest options for tracking user adoption of workshop apps? I can see some usage stats in the User Analytics tab in Control Panel and there is some information about views in the Workflow Lineage tool, but if I want to know who is using my workshop app and when, what are my options? Are audit logs the way to go?

We recently added a new feature within the Workshop edit-mode left sidebar: Usage Metrics

In the current version, editors will be able to see total Action usage and page/layout Views over time. Note that every Module gets Action metrics right out-of-the-box but View metrics require explicit opt in on a per module basis. This should hopefully provide some insight into your module’s adoption over time in aggregate, but, in the current version, you will not be able to see usage for a specific user.

This can help but we really need to see usage per user.
Hope this will be solved soon.
