Posted by Rishi Dhand, Product Manager, Google AppsGoogle Apps helps millions of businesses, schools and governments get work done with easy to use apps that are built for the cloud. Working in the cloud not only makes it easier to get things done, but also allows new insights into how your organization is using Google Apps. Starting today, we’re introducing a
new Reports section to the
Admin console to make it easier for admins to manage Google Apps and also gain insights that help their entire organization run more efficiently.
See a snapshot of all activityThe
Highlights page, located in the new Reports section, gives you a quick overview of all the activity across your domain. You can see how many Hangouts, Docs, Sheets and Slides your organization created, who is close to reaching their Drive and Gmail storage quota and how many files have been shared outside the company. You can also export any report to Google Sheets to slice and dice your data for further analysis.
Drill down to user level Reports The
Apps Usage Activity page shows data on how individual users are working with Gmail, Drive, storage and other apps. Choose what information you want to see and move the columns around to customize your view.
FiltersUse filters to quickly find who owns a specific file, people with a high number of uploads and shares, and granular data such as all the people who have between 1000 and 2000 documents.
SecurityThe
Security page is another customizable user report that provides security related information like 2-step verification enrollment, how many files are shared externally, the number of external apps that are installed and other important information like account status and Gmail IMAP usage. Like the Apps Usage Activity report, Admins can customize column names and apply sorting and filters on the columns.
Login AuditMonitor any security concerns by reviewing the specific IP addresses and dates of all logins and any failed or suspicious logins on the Login Audit page. Admins can use this report to track suspicious activity and take corrective action like resetting passwords.
To use the
new Reports page, go to your Admin console and click on the
Reports icon or the
View Reports link on the right side panel. Mobile data will be added soon, in the meantime you can
revert to the old Reports if needed. We have many additions planned for the future so stay tuned.
