Insights helps administrators visualize and understand how Docker is used within
their organizations. With Insights, administrators can ensure their teams are
fully equipped to utilize Docker to its fullest potential, leading to improved
productivity and efficiency across the organization.

Key benefits include:

- Uniform working environment: Establish and maintain standardized
  configurations across teams.
- Best practices: Promote and enforce usage guidelines to ensure optimal
  performance.
- Increased visibility: Monitor and drive adoption of organizational
  configurations and policies.
- Optimized license use: Ensure that developers have access to advanced
  features provided by a Docker subscription.

## Prerequisites

To use Insights, you must meet the following requirements:

- [Docker Business subscription](https://www.docker.com/pricing/)
- Administrators must [enforce sign-in](/security/for-admins/enforce-sign-in/)
for users
- Your Account Executive must turn on Insights for your organization

## View Insights for organization users

To access Insights, contact your Account Executive to have the
feature turned on. Once the feature is turned on, access Insights using the
following steps:

1. Sign in to [Docker Home](https://app.docker.com/) and choose
your organization.
1. Select **Insights**. then select the period of time for the data.

> [!NOTE]

> Insights data is not real-time and is updated daily. At the top-right of the
> Insights page, view the **Last updated** date to understand when the data was
> last updated.

Insights data is displayed in the following charts:

 - [Docker Desktop users](#docker-desktop-users)
 - [Builds](#builds)

### Docker Desktop users

Track active Docker Desktop users in your domain, differentiated by license
status. This chart helps you understand the engagement levels within your
organization, providing insights into how many users are actively using Docker
Desktop. Note that users who opt out of analytics aren't included in the active
counts.

The chart contains the following data:

| Data | Description |
|:-----------------------------|: |
| Active user | The number of users who have actively used Docker Desktop and either signed in with a Docker account that has a license in your organization or signed in to a Docker account with an email address from a domain associated with your organization. <br><br>Users who don’t sign in to an account associated with your organization are not represented in the data. To ensure users sign in with an account associated with your organization, you can [enforce sign-in](/security/for-admins/enforce-sign-in/). |
| Total organization members | The number of users who have used Docker Desktop, regardless of their Insights activity. |
| Users opted out of analytics | The number of users who are members of your organization that have opted out of sending analytics. <br><br>When users opt out of sending analytics, you won't see any of their data in Insights. To ensure that the data includes all users, you can use [Settings Management](/desktop/hardened-desktop/settings-management/) to set `analyticsEnabled` for all your users. |
| Active users (graph) | The view over time for total active users. |

## Export Docker Desktop user data

You can export Docker Desktop user data as a CSV file:

1. Open [Docker Home](https://app.docker.com) and select your organization from the top-left account drop-down.
1. Select **Admin Console** in the left-hand navigation menu.
1. Select **Desktop insights**.
1. Choose a timeframe for your insights data: **1 Week**, **1 Month**, or
**3 Months**.
1. Select **Export** and choose **Docker Desktop users** from the drop-down.

Your export will automatically download. Open the file to view
the export data.

### Understanding export data

A Docker Desktop user export file contains the following data points:

- Name: User's name
- Username: User's Docker ID
- Email: User's email address associated with their Docker ID
- Type: User type
- Role: User [role](/manuals/enterprise/security/roles-and-permissions.md)
- Teams: Team(s) within your organization the user is a
member of
- Date Joined: The date the user joined your organization
- Last Logged-In Date: The last date the user logged into Docker using
their web browser (this includes Docker Hub and Docker Home)
- Docker Desktop Version: The version of Docker Desktop the user has
installed
- Last Seen Date: The last date the user used the Docker Desktop application
- Opted Out Analytics: Whether the user has opted out of the
[Send usage statistics](/manuals/enterprise/security/hardened-desktop/settings-management/settings-reference.md#send-usage-statistics) setting in Docker Desktop

## Troubleshoot Insights

If you’re experiencing issues with data in Insights, consider the following
solutions to resolve common problems:

- Update users to the latest version of Docker Desktop.

   Data is not shown for users using versions 4.16 or lower of Docker Desktop.
   In addition, older versions may not provide all data. Ensure all users have
   installed the latest version of Docker Desktop.

- Turn on **Send usage statistics** in Docker Desktop for all your users.

   If users have opted out of sending usage statistics for Docker Desktop, then
   their usage data will not be a part of Insights. To manage the setting at
   scale for all your users, you can use [Settings
   Management](/desktop/hardened-desktop/settings-management/) and turn on the
   `analyticsEnabled` setting.

- Ensure users use Docker Desktop and aren't using the standalone
  version of Docker Engine.

   Only Docker Desktop can provide data for Insights. If a user installs Docker
   Engine outside of Docker Desktop, Docker Engine won't provide
   data for that user.

- Make sure users sign in to an account associated with your
  organization.

   Users who don’t sign in to an account associated with your organization are
   not represented in the data. To ensure users sign in with an account
   associated with your organization, you can [enforce
   sign-in](/security/for-admins/enforce-sign-in/).
