Measure the adoption of your Amazon QuickSight dashboards and view your BI portfolio in a single pane of glass
Blog
This article demonstrates how to build an Admin Console dashboard using Amazon QuickSight to measure dashboard adoption and track BI portfolio usage across an organization.
- Admin Console provides six sheets: Landing Page, User Analysis, Dashboard Analysis, Asset Access Permissions, Data Dictionary, and Overview
- Identifies active/inactive users and authors to optimize QuickSight licensing costs
- Tracks dashboard usage patterns by geography, department, and job role
- Uses serverless pipeline: AWS Glue jobs call QuickSight APIs, CloudTrail logs stored in S3, Athena creates tables, QuickSight visualizes data
- Deployable via three CloudFormation templates for Glue jobs, Athena tables, and QuickSight objects
- Includes advanced features: parameters, calculated fields, URL actions for email alerts to inactive authors
- Can identify readers logging in without viewing dashboards to prevent wasted reader session fees
The solution enables BI leaders to centralize asset management, analyze usage metrics, and make cost-efficient decisions about dashboard improvements and user access.
