Reviewing usage metrics for an instance
Client usage metrics
What to know
- Usage data may occasionally need to be reviewed for billing or usage tracking.
- The client usage metrics report provides details for each client, matter, and workspace with Blackout usage.
- The report processes metrics for the month selected using the same logic that is used for billing.
How to do it
- Log into the Relativity environment as a system administrator
- Navigate to the Blackout > Blackout Client Usage Report
- Select a Month
- Click Download
- A CSV of usage data will be downloaded
Note: If the download button is disabled it could be that the selected month's data has not yet been generated. Click the generate button to process the selected month and the download button will become available once that month's data has been processed.
Understanding markup counts
- Placed markups are calculated by taking the total number of markups placed within the selected month and subtracting the number of markups both created and reverted within that month.
- Milyli always calculates usage using the beginning and end of a given month.
Accessing Client Usage via SQL
As of Blackout version 5.1, usage can alternativly be pulled via calls to the EDDS database in the blackout.MonthlyWorkspaceUsage table. This table will contain a row for each Month/Workspace in the instance that contain any amount of Blackout activity within it.
