How can System Administrators monitor account usage in Smartsheet?

Utilizing account activity reports is the most effective method for System Administrators to monitor account usage in Smartsheet. These reports provide a comprehensive overview of user interactions, including actions performed and changes made within the account. This data is crucial for understanding how team members engage with Smartsheet and for identifying any patterns or trends in usage, which can assist administrators in making informed decisions about training, resource allocation, and potential improvements to workflows.

While reviewing shared link activity can offer insight into how shared sheets are accessed, it does not provide a complete picture of overall account usage. Similarly, checking email notifications may indicate specific events or changes but lacks the thorough analysis that account activity reports provide. Analyzing dashboard metrics can also be helpful for understanding project or sheet performance, but again, it does not serve as a direct tool for monitoring account-wide usage. Therefore, the account activity reports stand out as the most comprehensive tool for System Administrators to effectively monitor and analyze account usage in Smartsheet.
