Review License Usage

The Dashboard contains five charts:

Chart What it shows
Top Jobs by License Usage Jobs ranked by the license usage values shown on their bars.
Top Solver by License Usage License usage grouped by solver, such as cfd_base in the example.
License Usage by App Solver A donut chart showing usage by app solver and a total in the center.
Top Users by License Usage Users ranked by the license usage values shown on their bars.
License Usage Trend License usage over the dates in the selected reporting period.

Review the job and solver charts at the top, then scroll down to compare user usage and the trend over time.

The licenses found count and chart usage totals are separate values. For example, the screenshots show 1 Licenses found, while the app-solver chart displays Total 11. Read each value together with its label.

Review the License List

Scroll below the charts to reach License List. The Period displayed above the table identifies the reporting interval associated with the list.

Provider Cloud provider associated with the record.
Account Id Cloud account identifier.

Use the list to connect the displayed usage to its provider, account, region, cluster, and license name. The example lists cfd_base with Licenses In Use: 11; this is a sample value for the displayed period.
