About Data Usage Metrics
Using TDV, you can collect data on key performance indicators (KPI) such as which TDV objects are accessed the most, the least, how frequently those objects are accessed, and who is accessing them. After the data is collected, you can publish the tables it is collected in and use your favorite reporting tools to provide your team with these important data points.
