Accessing Analytics
Onshape provides dashboards for a variety of categories of information.
Each user has access to all of the reports available to the enterprise, as long as they have been granted access to the Access analytics global permission by the Enterprise administrator:
Select a dashboard from the major list, or through one of the filters on the left. When viewing a dashboard, you can download the data through the gear menu in the upper right, or use the key combination Ctrl+Shift+D (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+D (Mac). You may download in CSV or PDF format. When viewing in a browser, be aware that the back end of the Analytics is run by Looker Data Sciences, Inc.
All data is presented in dashboards with similar filtering, sorting, and refining capabilities. In general, the following controls are available:
Clear the cache and refresh the report, Download data, and Reset report filters
This icon (available on hover) on a data group indicates that you are able to Clear the cache and refresh the report, Download the data, or Reset the report filters:
- Click the icon, then click Download.

Exports are limited to 500 lines of data, even if there are more lines of data on the report display. See Tile options if you would like to download the entire data set.
Filter data
