On the second day of CADD Care, the CADD team gave to me…Autodesk Report Updates!
Autodesk has released an early Christmas list of updates to the Usage Report in the Autodesk Account that will improve admin efficiency. These enhancements will help admins save time searching for and managing their users. These are the new Autodesk Usage Report updates:
-
View user email addresses: Quickly identify whether a user is internal/external based on their email domain or differentiate users with similar names. Email addresses are now displayed directly below a user’s name in the Usage Report.
-
Link directly to User Management or Seat Usage/Token Usage: Accomplish tasks in fewer clicks with links by selecting a user to view details in Usage Report directly to user Management or Seat Usage/Token Usage.
- Rolling date range consistency across reporting– All account export, seat usage, and token usage pages will have their past 3/6/9/12 months pre-defined date range options aligned with the ranges in the usage report. Previously, the export and seat usage pages’ date ranges displayed data only related to fully completed months.
- Usage export custom date picker– On the all account export page, admins will soon have a custom date range picker applicable to the usage category export. With this improvement, the all dates option will be removed.
Over this past year, Autodesk has made several updates to improve the Autodesk Account for admins. Understanding users' subscriptions and Flex usage helps admin optimize their licenses and ensure the productivity of their users. Autodesk has specifically updated their reporting, to help admins save time with increased efficiency and more control.
One of these recent updates is the assigned date in the Autodesk usage report. You can now view the most recently assigned date and, if applicable, the most recently unassigned date in your usage report export and, for Premium customers, the Premium reporting. The new data helps you make smarter licensing decisions by offering valuable context when reviewing usage patterns.
Another exciting update focused on making it easier to access products and updates is that all users – including trial users – automatically receive the latest updates when downloading and installing Autodesk software, helping more people experience the value of their latest product enhancements.
Autodesk also has several projects that they are currently working on that will help admins save time with increased efficiency and more control:
-
Enhanced support case management – Admins will soon be able to manage their support cased directly from their Autodesk account. This new centralized view allows you to see case count, details, submissions, and statuses all in one place.
-
Save Column Views – When admins show or hide columns in the usage report, they will soon save from session to session, allowing admins to easily review the same data points between sessions.
-
Schedule update installations – Soon admins will be able to simplify the update process by scheduling updates for groups of users and products on their desired cadence, helping more of their users to operate on the most up-to-date software.
I have always considered the end of the year as my favorite time for several reasons. It is a natural time to reflect on the past year and personal achievements. Christmas is filled with traditions, family gatherings, and festive activities that create lasting memories.
The transition from one year to the next gives everyone a new beginning. Autodesk customers can look forward to these new updates that will be available in the coming year.
