Content analytics gives you an in-depth view into the video courses and hands-on content your team has interacted with. You also get a glimpse into individualized usage for each active member of your team. Through usage data and completion rates, you can spot where your team has engaged with content and what content sees the most use.

What you can do
Content analytics gives you a snapshot of your team members' content usage. These snapshots help you:
- Track completion percentages within a given piece of content
- View the progress of individual learners within your team
- Understand how your team is engaging with content
- Highlight durations and unique user data for a particular piece of content
Web reports
To get started:
- Click Analytics in the Leader view of the navigation menu.
- Click the Content tab.
Content analytics includes two views:
- The default view is the Content dashboard.
- When you click a particular piece of content, you'll see its Detail dashboard.
Content dashboard
The Content dashboard allows insight into top-level content analytics data.
- The Overview shows you the following data:
- Popular content among users shows you how many users are engaging with the most popular content. Popularity is determined by the number of active users.
- You can customize the web and CSV reports with the Date range filter.
- You can customize the web and CSV reports with the Teams filter. To view unassigned users, make sure all teams are deselected.
- You can customize the web and CSV reports with the license filter, including options for removed and free account users. If your plan includes multiple license types, this filter allows you to select which to include in the report.
- You can download a CSV report of your content analytics data, discussed below.

You can click the Content type label to filter by the content types used by your users. You can click any of the other labels to sort by that field, and click again to toggle between ascending and descending. The data fields include:

Data fields by content type
Note: Data on Courses, Exams and quizzes, Cloud sandboxes, and Cloud servers are only available for organizations with access to ACG content and features. This data is only available for the amount of time a learner has been on the Skills plan, meaning any ACG learning activity from before they joined the Skills plan isn’t included.
The data fields in the Overview (A) and the Learner table (G) vary depending on the respective content type. The data fields include:
Overview | Learner table |
---|---|
Video courses | |
Labs | |
|
|
Projects | |
|
|
Interactive courses | |
|
|
Exams and quizzes | |
|
|
Cloud playground | |
|

Ideas for using analytics data
- The Overview gives you a detailed analysis of usage for a piece of content. Particularly valuable are the average view time per user and the average completion percentage. With these two data points, you can spot trends and track improvements within your team.
- Report downloads can be customized by date range and by user or team. By default, the report download pulls data from the last 30 days and for all users. We recommend creating a cadence for pulling reports (monthly, quarterly, etc.) so you can more easily track and manage your team's engagement and progress.
- The Detail dashboard helps you find strengths within your team. You can sort by completion percentages and build internal pairing sessions between those who have completed the content and those that haven't. If you have a big project coming down the pipeline, you can use these pairings to help your teams work together and skill up on the content needed to drive success.
CSV reports
View more details about your content analytics with the CSV report download. To download the CSVs, click the download icon next to the Select teams filter.
Tip: You can start from either the All-content dashboard or the Content page dashboard; the resulting CSV reports will be the same.
When you pull a CSV report for content analytics, you'll be downloading a zip file containing separate CSVs for each content type your learners use. The zip file will download to your system’s Downloads folder. Depending on the size of your plan, this may take some time to process. Once downloaded, open the CSV files in a spreadsheet program.
