Report usage analysis examines how Salesforce reports and dashboards are consumed across the organisation. It tracks which reports are viewed most frequently, which users access them, which reports are never viewed, and how report consumption correlates with sales performance and data quality.

Report usage analysis examines how Salesforce reports and dashboards are consumed across the organisation. It tracks which reports are viewed most frequently, which users access them, which reports are never viewed, and how report consumption correlates with sales performance and data quality.
Why report usage analysis matters for Salesforce users
Salesforce implementations often accumulate hundreds of reports over time, many built for specific one-time requests and never used again. Report usage analysis identifies which reports actually drive decisions and which are digital clutter. Cleaning up unused reports improves system performance, reduces user confusion, and focuses analytics investment on the views that matter.
Usage patterns also reveal analytics gaps. If certain roles or teams rarely access reports, they may lack the reporting they need or may not understand the reports available to them. Conversely, users who run the same report daily but export to spreadsheets for further analysis are revealing a gap in Salesforce's native reporting that could be addressed with better dashboard design or KPI Tree's metric trees.
Understand and act on report usage analysis with KPI Tree
Land Salesforce event log data capturing report views, dashboard refreshes, and export events in your warehouse. KPI Tree analyses usage patterns by report, user, role, frequency, and time period.
Add report usage to your metric tree as a CRM health metric. Assign ownership to the Salesforce admin or BI team, set alerts for critical reports that stop being viewed, and correlate report usage with sales outcomes to identify which analytics consumption patterns are associated with higher performance.
