As an admin, you can view detailed analytics about your workspace's activity and member engagement.

In this article, you will learn...

The Analytics tab provides charts, metrics, and insights to help you understand how teachers and students are using Flint. To get there, from your workspace homepage, click on the "Analytics" tab on the lefthand side menu:

The user is viewing their Flint workspace home screen for "Ocean School" with the Analytics tab highlighted in the left sidebar navigation menu. The sidebar shows navigation options including Notifications, Search, Home, My chats, My activities, Analytics (currently selected), and Settings & members, followed by a list of class groups like 10th Grade English, 11th Grade Math, and others. The main area displays a welcome message from Flint's AI assistant and quick action suggestions.

How to access workspace analytics

Setting a date range

Use the date picker at the top of the analytics panel to filter data by time period. You can use the arrow buttons on either side of the date selector to slide between periods. For example, if you're viewing the last 30 days, clicking the left arrow shifts the view to the previous 30-day period.

The user is adjusting the analytics date range by clicking the date picker at the top of the analytics panel. They are using the navigation arrows to shift between different time periods to filter the data displayed in all charts and metrics below.

Differences between the usage and alignment tabs

At the top of the analytics panel, use the segmented control to switch between two views.

Usage — Metrics about member activity, including active users, activities created, sessions started, and number of messages sent.

Alignment — Curriculum-focused insights, including soft skills demonstrations, Bloom's Taxonomy coverage, and AI-analyzed chat sessions.

The user is toggling between the "Usage" and "Alignment" tabs at the top of the analytics dashboard. Clicking "Usage" shows activity-based metrics like member counts and engagement data, while clicking "Alignment" reveals curriculum-focused insights including soft skills tracking and cognitive rigor analysis.

How to export data from analytics

Downloading CSV files

Each chart and table has a download button (download icon) in the top-right corner that exports the data as a CSV file. CSV files are named using your workspace ID and the chart name (e.g. workspace_id_total_members.csv).

The user is downloading analytics data as CSV files by clicking the download icon next to various charts and tables. The exported files are automatically named using the workspace ID and the chart name (e.g., "workspace-123_total-members-by-role.csv"). The user is demonstrating how to export data for external analysis, reporting, or sharing with stakeholders.
