How do I run a report which shows which OpenAthens users are using which resources?
You can use one of the standard reports available in the OpenAthens reporting module to see which of your users are accessing which resources.
Please note that the report shows the number of people transferring to a publisher platform - it doesn't show whether they successfully logged in, or which resources/databases within a platform were used.
From the OpenAthens admin dashboard:
- click on the Statistics menu, then choose Reporting:
- the Reporting dashboard will open
- from the menu on the left, click on Resources, then click on Usage:
- a report will open, but you will need to change some of the settings at the top of the page:
- click under Resource, and type the name of the resource you're looking for, eg ProQuest, and select the most appropriate option from the list
- click under Breakdown by and select the Username option
- you can choose whether to set the Granularity to Monthly, or keep it to Daily
- change the start and end dates to cover the period you're interested in
- click on the Apply button
- you will then need to download the data - click on the arrow in the top right hand corner, and select Save to my computer:
- choose the .csv option
- you'll get notification that the file has downloaded - click to open the file
- that file will contain a list of usernames - you'll need to go back into the main Dashboard and search for the usernames, to find the email addresses of the users.
