Understanding Your Reports

A guide to every report in Adovance - what each one shows, and the decision it helps you make.

đź’ˇ Every report includes an AI Analysis narrative and a Download CSV button. Most honor the 7 / 30 / 90 day report window selector.


Overview

The landing page. Leads with an AI Executive Summary that synthesizes every report into a single narrative, plus your headline numbers: active %, license waste (in dollars), and ROI. If you set an internal adoption goal, progress toward it shows here too.

Active vs Inactive

Splits your licensed users into active vs. inactive based on your inactivity threshold. Can optionally show:

  • An internal adoption goal progress note.
  • A peer benchmark - percentile bands vs. similar-sized organizations (only when enabled platform-wide and enough peer tenants exist; off by default).

Use it to: quantify how many seats are actually being used.


Department Adoption

Adoption broken down by department, so you can see which teams are ahead and which are lagging.

Use it to: target enablement where it’s needed.


Role Adoption

Adoption broken down by job role/title.

Use it to: see whether the roles you expected to benefit are actually using Copilot.


Manager Rollups

Adoption rolled up by manager, covering a manager’s entire reporting chain - not just their direct reports.

Use it to: give leaders accountability for adoption in their org.


Adoption Trend

Daily adoption over time. The first sync backfills ~6 months of history so this chart is populated immediately. Includes an Enabled / Active toggle per app.

📌 Not affected by the 7/30/90 report window selector (different Graph report family).

Use it to: show the trajectory to your board.


App Adoption

Adoption by individual Copilot surface (e.g. Copilot Chat, Word, Excel, Teams). Holds a single latest snapshot per tenant, so it shows a week-over-week delta badge and links to Adoption Trend rather than its own long-term chart.

📌 Not affected by the 7/30/90 report window selector.

Use it to: see which Copilot experiences are landing.


App Adoption by Department

Crosses per-user, per-app activity with department - so “Sales uses Copilot Chat but rarely Excel Copilot” is visible directly, not hidden inside a blended number.

Use it to: tailor training per team and per app.


Cohort Adoption

Adoption by admin-defined tag (cohort). Define cohorts on the Cohorts page.

Use it to: track adoption for a pilot group, region, or any grouping you care about.


License Waste

Idle licenses quantified in real dollars, using your license cost and inactivity threshold from Settings.

Use it to: put a number on wasted spend.


License Reallocation

A reclaim-and-reallocate action plan. A second table suggests which departments are the best candidates for reclaimed seats.

Use it to: turn waste into a concrete plan.


License Utilization

Joins purchased, assigned, and active seats per Copilot SKU - the procurement view License Waste only answers in aggregate.

Use it to: right-size renewals.


ROI Model

A defensible ROI model tying active usage to productivity value vs. license cost, driven by your economics. Charts ROI/value over time from saved snapshots rather than a single live number.
