MicrosoftNew Office 365 Groups activity report
As announced today in this post by Anne Michels:
The Office 365 Groups activity report helps you understand how groups facilitate collaboration across your organization by surfacing information abo...
That's going to be useful. I see the graphic inside the post shows Group name and Group owner as GUIDs rather than names. Can we assume this is just an early screenshot and GUIDs will be resolved to names? If a Group has multiple owners, will more than one be listed in the usage report?

MicrosoftIt does display the Group name. It currently list only one owner and we are looking at improving that
Three Quick Questions:
1) What is the explanation whenever the data in column "TYPE" is blank ?
2) What is considered as "Item count" ?
documents in SPO + documents in shared mailbox + converation threds of teams, etc..etc
last but not least, is the activity (last activity data) checked against all applications where this group is used ? --> SPO, EXO, Power BI, MS Teams, Yammer, ...
thank you
Amit RawatHi Stefan,
Only EXO activities are checked to show last activity data in this report. Similarly item count is the same item count that is returned by Get-MailboxStatistics cmdlet for the group mailbox in EXO.
Type would be blank if the group is deleted but there are few other cases when group data is not available and we are working to cover them.
ThanksThank you Amit!
Are there any plans to extend this in order to include all the other areas ?
In my opinion a O365Group Activity Report should cover all activities across all Applications (incl. Document counts).
If a Group is mainly used in SPO (and not EXO) then one would see in the current report this group with "no activity".
It would be really great to see for all other Reports an explanation for each column (what is counted, included) --> currently this information is not available on Graph API webpage :(
thx
