Appian Usage Insights

Overview

Gain insights into your Appian usage with an application suite specifically designed to cater for complex environment topologies and heterogenous license contracts.

Key Features & Functionality

With ‘Appian Usage Insights’:

Model your license contracts in the application through configuration only - no additional development required!
Cater for Cloud, On-Premise or a mix of installation topologies.
Designed with the enterprise in mind, support large numbers of Appian environments, user accounts and keep track of license consumption over time.
Model your internal license usage using license pools mapped to user-definable business entities.
Visualize usage the way you want to:
- Usage by business entity.
- Usage by license type.
- License pool membership.
- License pool logins.
- License pool membership (which user is in which license pool and, ultimately, which one consumes an actual license).
- Logins by user (over time).
- Capacity planning (allocated license count over time).

For more information, see Appian Usage Insights FAQs

Usage of this application does not permit your organization to exceed its licensed usage requirements. Your organization is required to maintain compliance with your licensing terms, and report any non-compliance to Appian per the terms of your organization’s contract with Appian.

Hi,

This application looks great! I have a few questions regarding this application to better understand how to set it up better:

1) Do you have examples or scenarios on how to set up the business entities? I am trying to better understand Business Entities as I have a couple of groups that are linked to the Default value.

2) It is great that we link business entities to groups, but I was wondering if there is any way to link users as I have users from different business entities that are part of the same user group object (per design of BP based on roles).

3) It seems that the data collections app ran the information for the last month only. How do I configure it to gather information for the last year? Not sure if I am missing anything here. For example, in the reports app if I select to see Logins by User or Usage Reports, it only shows for the last month. ( I know I have logged into Appian every month).

4) How can I export the reports?

Thank you in advance.

Roberta

We need to run the 'Collector' app on version 18.4+, the process models do not show up when downgraded. Can you post the docs for all process maps?

This is awesome. I am trying to use this app in Cloud, However, I am not finding this plugin - "Licence Management data collection
plugin" anywhere in the plugin section. Does this App is available for Cloud users?
