  • the most viewed assets in Atlan
  • the most changed assets in Atlan

Use cases

  • Understand how users are adopting Atlan, irrespective of trust signals like certificates
  • Report on or summarize that adoption, for slicing and dicing via spreadsheet

    • By raw views prioritizes the raw number of views across all users (irrespective of how many different users may have viewed it)
  • Maximum assets: the maximum number of assets to include in the most-viewed sheet (default: 100).

Changes

  • Include asset changes?: whether or not to include the assets that have changed in the output.
  • Limit to user: (optional) limit the changes being reported to changes made by one or more users.
  • Limit by action: (optional) limit the changes being reported to one or more specific actions (kind of change).
  • From date: (optional) exclude any changes that occurred before this date
  • To date: (optional) exclude any changes that occurred after this date
