I would love to use the Instructor Usage ADS in a live report for in the Insights Analytics Builder. Is that possible? If not, how do I recreate that data? What BDS do I pull from and how do I connect them? What filters do I use, if any, on each table?

    Hi @Ruth.C.6339

    The Instructor Usage report is indeed an Advanced Dataset report. To access this report, you would typically need to reach out to the administrators of your organization, as they control access to these specific datasets.

    I've attached an article that provides information about the fields returned in this report, which should help you understand the data it contains.

    Hi @Vivek.V.2277,

    Thank you for your answer, but I think you misread my question. To clarify, I do have an administrator role (as in, I am one of the administrators) in D2L for my institution. The issue is that I want to build a dashboard in Insights Analytics Builder using the Instructor Usage dataset… not just run the report, which I can already do.

    Hi Ruth, I hope you are doing well!

    My name is Mohammad from the Technical Support Team. I would suggest visiting the following documentation:

    https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/25566-getting-started-with-analytics-builder

    At the bottom of that documentation, there is a link to Analytics Builder Course that requires you to have an authenticated session into Communiy in order to access.

    Within that course, there is a part that talks about Creating Dashboards in Analytics Builder.

    Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

    Hi Ruth,
    Thanks for the clarification. We have a comprehensive course in our Learning center which would walk you through how to use a Brightspace Dataset in Analytics builder. Sharing the link to Learning Center for your reference:

    Homepage - Getting Started with Analytics Builder

    However, it might not be possible to use Instructor Usage Dataset in Analytics builder considering it is an advanced dataset which are generated on demand. You may want to contact your CSM, as this could involve working with our Learning Analytics team and require a paid engagement.

    In case you have any further assistance with datasets in Analytics builder, I would suggest you to open a case regarding this in the ASC Portal? That will allow us to assign a support agent who can investigate it further.

    Thanks,
    Unaib Nazir
