Best way to identify Report Suites not in use anymore?

Our company has dozens of report suites, since then we have consolidated and moved to few VRS suites and we're considering deleting the old report suites but wanted to confirm that those old report suites are not in any use before we actually remove them. What is the best way to do this?

 

thanks!

Brandon

Hi @brandongo1 ,

 

You can try using Adobe Health dashboards to validate health of various report suites.

unfortunately that link/page is blocked by my company, is there anything I can do within the adminconsole and/or Adobe Analytics' admin page?

In the Admin panel you can download a server call report.

 

Admin > All Admin > Server Call Usage (I think Server Call Usage may also appear directly in the Admin drop menu)

 

Click on the Report Suite Usage tab.

 

You can see here the server calls for your entire current contract, but you can get a monthly breakdown by downloading the report (which can help determine sites that may have had recent tracking and have now stopped...)


Click on the checkbox next to "Report Suite Name" header, and a "Download Reports" link will appear:

 

 

While there may be old suites that have a handful of data coming in (likely from old cached versions of those sites), you should be able to determine which are active and which are not...

    Thanks Jennifer. I already used the Server Call Usage report, I do see that there's been millions of hits/calls to the report suite but I'm trying to find the usage from audience side. I want to know how many users are accessing dashboards with this specific report suite. If those dashboards are not in use anymore/no longer required, then we'd like to remove them.

      Hi @brandongo1,

      One point to add to Jen's comment, you can't actually truly delete report suites. You can hide them (in admin settings there is an option for "hide report suite"), but never fully delete them. They will still collect any calls that are sent to them (and you'll still be billed for those calls). So, if you're going to hide report suites because they're no longer in use, you should also work with your implementation team to stop data calls going into those report suites. 


      good to know - thanks Mandy 🙂
