Cloud Service Usage


We are rolling out a new reporting framework starting July 1st to make Subscription Analytics experience faster and smoother. While some parts of the reports—like filters, visuals, and tables—will look a bit different, they will work the same.

More about the changes—here

We will continue to enhance our reporting experience and would love to hear your thoughts. If you have suggestions for improvements or would like to request a new feature—such as an additional filter—please consider submitting a new idea or voting on an existing one through our Aha Ideas Portal.

*Bentley’s usage logging system processes and stores data in 10-minute intervals: each hour is split into 6 equal intervals (0-9 minutes, 10-19 minutes, etc.). It is Bentley’s policy to use the 10 minute interval as our most granular time segment. All commercial programs are built using this base data or some higher level aggregate.  We do not store exact start and stop times for applications.
