We are rolling out a new reporting framework starting July 1st to make your experience faster. While some parts of the reports will look a bit different, they will mainly work the same. You can learn more about the changes here.
Purpose
View the product usage details down to the specific 10-minute intervals in which the usage began and ended. The first interval of a given usage is not included in this report (except for e365 accounts it is), therefore usage of an interval that is listed as starting and ending at the same time is counted during that 10 minute interval. This report include all usage such as Production, Trial and Pre-Activation. This report includes data for the past 90 days only, all date range selections will default to 90 days. All date and times are based on UTC time.
If a contract change is made from or to e365, the last 90 days before the change will be shown as if under a new contract type.
Roles
Users with at least one of the following roles are able to access the report:

Layout - Application Usage by Hour Details
This shows details of product usage down to the 10-minute interval. Intervals are pre-set 10-minute increments throughout the day. For example, 12:00 - 12:10 is the first interval. of the day 12:10 - 12:20 is the second interval, etc. This report uses these intervals to show the approximate start and stop time of product usages down to the 10-minute interval. It will not display to the exact minute or second.
If a product was used from 9:02 - 9:06 AM, then this report will not display any usage because the first interval is removed.
If a product was used from 9:02 - 9:16 AM, then this report will display a usage interval of 9:10 - 9:10 AM. This is because the first interval is still removed (9:00-9:09), and the usage ended before 9:20.

*Bentley’s usage logging system processes and stores data in 10-minute intervals. 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. A usage with the same Interval start/end time means that the usage started and ended within the same interval. Ex., start/end of 12:10 means the usage was somewhere between 12:10 and 12:19
