Understanding Visitors data

Note This documentation is specific to the Usage Analytics dashboard that is available only in the previous, classic UI.

This topic describes the data that appears when you click a card in the Visitors section.

Tip 

Select the card whose data you want to understand:

Active

The Active card shows the number of users who signed in to Collibra in the current period.

Depending on your permission, when you click the card, the following subsections appear:

  • Active Standard Users: The number and evolution of active visitors who have the Standard User license, in the current and previous periods.
  • Active Read-only Users: The number and evolution of active visitors who have the Read-only User license, in the current and previous periods.
  • Active Visitors: The names and other attributes, such as the required license and the number of current visits, of all active visitors in the current period.

Active card with its subsections

Tip On the Active Standard Users and Active Read-only Users subsections, you can hover your pointer over the solid (current period) or dotted (previous period) lines in the charts to compare the data between two corresponding days in the current and previous periods.

The following table describes what the number and the text on the Active card indicates.

Active card showing number and text

No. Description

The number on the Active card considers all users who signed in to Collibra in the current period. These include not only standard and read-only visitors but also visitors whose profiles were deleted in the meantime.

Suppose that the number on the Active card is 20, the number on the Active Standard Users is 10, and the number on the Active Read-only Users card is 8. This indicates that the remaining two users are deleted.

The text on the Active card indicates the approximate percentage of active users in the current period in comparison with the previous period.

Suppose that for a period of 30 days, the number on the Active card is 20 and the text on the Active card is 50.00% over previous period. The text means that there is approximately a 50% increase in the number of active users in the current period compared to the previous period, indicating that there were about 13 active users in the previous period.
Tip 

The arrow next to the number indicates the trend of the number of visitors compared with the previous period.

  • An up arrow indicates that the number of visitors in the current period is more than that in the previous period.
  • A down arrow indicates that the number of visitors in the current period is less than that in the previous period.
  • A left arrow indicates that the number of visitors in the current period is the same as that in the previous period.

New

The New card shows the number of users who signed in to Collibra either for the very first time in the current period or for the first time in the current period after having been inactive in the previous period.

Suppose that the current period is October 1, 2022-October 7, 2022 and the previous period is September 24, 2022-September 30, 2022. Consider a user named Jane who signed in to Collibra before the previous period (for example, on September 20th) but did not sign in to Collibra in the previous period. If Jane signs in to Collibra in the current period, Jane is considered a new user because she was inactive in the previous period.
