Office 365 Groups - Active Groups versus All Groups
- Hi there,
An "active group" on that page is defined merely as a group that has had some sort of conversations activity in the past 30 days. It's a binary state, meaning that in that view there is not a notion of groups that are "more active" than others.
This heuristic helps identify groups that still have some sort of conversation happening in them, as sometimes groups stop seeing usage or people create lots of test groups to try things out and don't take the time to go back and clean them out.
Hope this helps!

I'm interested in the answer as well. Did you ever find an answer?
We had a discussion about this a while ago (https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Office-365-Groups/Active-vs-Inactive-Office-365-Groups/td-p/28308) and to me it's not clear what an active Office 365 Group means or not cc cfiessinger TonyRedmond VasilMichev
Thank you for sharing the discussion. The link in the article to the https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Office-365-Reports-in-the-new-Admin-Center-SharePoint-site-usage-4ecfb843-e5d5-464d-8bf6-7ed512a9b213?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US&fromAR=1contains the same question for me. The SharePoint reporting also makes use of total sites & active sites (point 7 in the explanation). Someone on the product team should be able to find out which forumula is used if this is not yet documented anywhere :-)
A group where a conversation has occurred in the last month?
Or someone has added or modified a document in the library in that time?
I don't know. It is a good question.
- And good discussion by the way!
