Track a Project
Monitor provides project-based tracking of license usage. You might track a project, because you want to see how many licenses specific people or a team used, so you can make an estimate and budget for the next quarter or year. To track a project, you first must set it up and wait. The project data will be useful after a certain period of time has passed, for example a quarter or six months.
First, create the project.
-
Go to the Admin tab and select .
Figure 1. Groups - Project

Enter the Project Name and the
Members you wish to monitor. The members will be
listed as users in feature reports, for example. It’s likely that you will enter
multiple users.

Click Save Configuration and then Apply
Configuration.
At this point, you are done creating a project and you will need to wait a specified time period before the data rendered is meaningful.
To track a project, perform the following steps:
- Go to the History page and select Usage.
- Choose a report so you can evaluate the conditions of your project. You can evaluate data in daily plots, checkout statistics, efficiency statistics and many other reports. In this case, we will generate an efficiency statistics report. To do so, select Efficiency Statistics from the Usage menu.
-
Select the Time Range, Tag or
Feature and the Project to
track.
