What are administrator reports?
Administrators can generate reports that show usage and adoption metrics in their organization. Different types of reports are available depending on your needs. Organizations can retrieve user information via reports and the Betterworks API. For organizations that exceed 50K users, reports will need to be run directly via the API and will not be available in the admin panel.
After a report is triggered, you'll receive a notification that includes any filters that were applied and a download link:
Note: If the report has more than 50,000 entries it will be split into multiple links within the same notification.
What questions do the reports help answer?
There are 2 key questions that the reports help answer:
1. Who still needs to complete actions?
Examples:
- User Activity Report
- Conversations Adoption Report
- Feedback Adoption Report
2. What is the quality of the activity happening?
Examples:
- All Goals Report
- Conversation Answers Report
- Feedback Answers Report
Accessing Reports
Note: Administrators cannot use the steps below to view the responses of the other participant in their own conversation(s) before those responses are shared, or to view the responses to confidential questions in their own conversations.
To access administrator reports, go to Admin → Program Management → Reports.
From here, you can select the tab for the module you wish to access reports for.

FAQs
Why are some conversations missing from the report I created?
This can occur when downloading a report using department filters, as users who don't have a department assigned to them will be missed from the report. When selecting all departments, the system only includes conversations where employee and manager departments match the selection, excluding those without a department. For example, if you select departments A, B, and C, the report will only show conversations in which both the employee and manager departments are A, B, or C. To resolve this, either run the report without selecting departments, or ensure all users have a department assigned to them.
