Review an Individual’s Behaviour: The report helps wellbeing staff in providing targeted support to individual students by analyzing their behavior and identifying instances of high usage or unusual activity patterns. You can also adjust the reporting period to analyze long term trends, helping wellbeing staff understand students' evolving patterns of activity.

Conduct Root Cause Analysis: The report supports efforts to uncover the root causes behind specific behaviors or issues by enabling metric comparisons and trend analysis.

Conduct Product Evaluations: The Report tracks students’ use of key educational content over time, allowing your school to assess the value they are deriving from specific educational products.
