 Office Telemetry Dashboard guide
Let's get started! Overview
Telemetry Dashboard helps you assess how Office solutions are used in your organization. In a dashboard, you can see graphical data that is
reported from Office client computers such as:

§ Office client usage

§ Add-ins and Office document usage

§ Compatibility issues of Office solutions

§ Critical failures of Office solutions

How Telemetry Dashboard works

The following figure illustrates the basic components of Telemetry Dashboard

Telemetry Agent Shared folder Telemetry Processor Database Telemetry Dashboard

1 Telemetry Agent is deployed to Office 2003, Office 2007, and Office 2010 clients and is built into Office 2013 and later clients. The agent
H periodically collects usage and compatibility data for its clients and sends the data to a shared folder.

One or more computers run Telemetry Processor, which processes client data from a shared folder and imports the data into a SQL
2 database.

Telemetry Dashboard, an Excel 2016 spreadsheet, connects to the SQL database and displays usage and compatibility data for monitored
3 clients.
