View Usage Statistics

Last updated: July 29, 2026

Summary

Portflow provides various insights for Admins regarding the current and historic usage of Portflow.

As an Admin, you can find general statistics via the Admin panel in the Portflow user interface. Additional and historic statistics can be obtained via the Portflow public API.

General Statistics

As a Super Admin or as a Power User with the permission 'Data Manager' or 'Functional Manager' (see 📄 Super Admins, Power Users, and Departments), you can access the Statistics tab (1) in the Portflow admin panel.

In this tab, you'll find general overall usage statistics that are calculated up to now (either nightly or live — based on the top-right button choice).

Historical statistics (3)

For three key components (Portfolios, Collections, Evidence) the development over the last 6 months is visualised in graphs. These statistics include all data that is also included in Snapshots, and therefore might be different from the numbers above.

Advanced statistics

Additional statistics can be obtained using the comprehensive Portflow public API (see developer.portflow.app). This includes i.a. user actions (creation and deletion of Evidence, Evidence Versions, Collections, Goals, Sub-Goals, Activities, Comments, Progress Review Requests, Templates, Template Imports, Portfolio Exports), Progress Review Results (see 📄 Manage API Applications).

Moreover, the Portflow API provides historical data on all the mentioned statistics available in the Portflow UI.
