Export Usage Report

The tool can be used to export a report of the usage of different library content.

This report reflects the data that is displayed for each library element on how often it has been used in the company.

To export the report as a .csv file, use the following command:

backendCli.exe r -o "[OUTPUT PATH]" 

The basic command consists of the following:

  • r – Indicates that a report should be created.

  • --output-folder [PATH] (-o) – Defines the output path to save the report.

    You can specify an individual path on your file system, e.g. C:\Users\[USER NAME]\Documents\empower Usage Report.

Optionally, you can make the command be executed in quiet mode to schedule the task.

To do so, add -q (--quiet) to the end of the command:

backendCli.exe r -o "[OUTPUT PATH]" -q 

Note

To run quiet mode, you must either run the command once in normal mode and log in during this task or have previously authenticated using the login command.

The report .csv file contains the following information per asset (Figure 1, “Usage Tracking Report”):
