Insights into your adoption will help you govern and secure the platform, identify patterns, and enable you to nurture your makers to accelerate adoption.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the box, the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/power-platform\/admin\/analytics-powerapps\">Admin Analytics<\/a>\u00a0that are part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/ppac\">Power Platform Admin Center<\/a> provide you with environment-level analytics based on your usage for the past 28 days. As your adoption grows, you might need customized dashboards that show you more insights and allow you to apply rich filters to your data.<\/p>\n<p>A core part of the CoE Starter Kit is a Power BI Dashboard that provides you with a holistic view with visualizations and insights into resources in your tenant: environments, apps, flows, connectors, connection references, makers and audit logs. Telemetry from the Audit Log is stored from the moment you set up the CoE Starter Kit, so over time you can look back and identify trends.<\/p>\n<p>We have recently updated the CoE Starter Kit Power BI Dashboard \u2013 in this post, discover what\u2019s new and what you can learn from the dashboard<\/p>\n<p>The dashboard provides analytics and data for the following areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Monitor (oversight of tenant resources)<\/li>\n<li>Govern (drive actions through insights)<\/li>\n<li>Nurture (learn about your community)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Monitor<\/h2>\n<p>The Monitor section gives you the ability to query your inventory (Environments, Apps, Flows, Makers, Connectors, Audit Logs) to monitor usage across your entire tenant and within each environment. These reports also support drill downs and filtering for example by maker department\/country\/city, connector usage, and premium feature usage.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9823\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9823\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9823\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/coe-dashboard1-1024x577.png\" alt=\"CoE Starter Kit Dashboard - Overview\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9823\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CoE Starter Kit Dashboard &#8211; Overview<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9824\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9824\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9824\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/coe-dashboard2-1024x582.png\" alt=\"CoE Starter Kit Dashboard - Power Apps Overview\" width=\"525\" height=\"298\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9824\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CoE Starter Kit Dashboard &#8211; Power Apps Overview<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Check license designation for apps <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Starting October 2019, several connectors are reclassified from Standard to Premium.

Not only will the admin have visibility of those types of resources, they can also grant themselves ownership to inspect the resource behaviour and decide if further action needs to be taken.<\/p>\n<p>Some typical assessments an admin would perform would be:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Identify overshared apps<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Resources shared and used by the entire organization might need a stronger support model or be moved to a dedicated environment<\/li>\n<li>Sometimes apps are shared with the entire organisation or a large number of individual users &#8211; if the app is for a dedicated department, job role, or group of people, you can help the maker by setting up an AD group to share their app with. Otherwise a) your entire org will see the app even if it\u2019s not relevant to them in the Power Apps mobile player or on make.powerapps.com and b) if the user does not have access to the underlying data source but only to the app, they will receive an error message upon trying to launch the app which can cause an increase in support tickets and confusion<\/li>\n<li>Apps shared with a large number of individual users pose a different risk \u2013 if the app is for a specific job role or department, should an end user move departments or job roles they would still see the app if it is shared with them and would be able to access the information. Therefore, it would also be recommended to share the app with an AD group that is tied to a movers\/leavers process instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9814\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9814\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9814\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/power-platform\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/coe-dashboard3-1024x582.png\" alt=\"CoE Starter Kit Dashboard - App Risk Assessment\" width=\"525\" height=\"298\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9814\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CoE Starter Kit Dashboard &#8211; App Risk Assessment<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Identify suspended flows<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flows will be suspended due to using a combination of connectors that conflict with the company <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/power-automate\/prevent-data-loss\">data loss prevention policies<\/a> or billing restrictions.<\/li>\n<li>Find those flows and work with the maker to identify if the flow is still needed, and if so, what policy violation they\u2019ve encountered.
