- Product
- SharePoint Online
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Tracking and analyzing site usage statistics over a 90-day period without repetitive manual filtering.
- Observed behavior
- The URL remains the same whether viewing the 7-day, 30-day, or 90-day report, preventing users from creating a direct link or bookmark to the 90-day view.
Ensure you have the necessary site owner or administrator permissions in SharePoint Online to view site usage data.
Manually Select the 90-Day View in SharePoint Site Usage
Since SharePoint Online does not currently support direct URLs for the 90-day view, you must access the report and manually change the timeframe.
The URL structure for SharePoint site usage reports does not append parameters for specific timeframes (like 7, 30, or 90 days). Because of this design, bookmarking the page or adding it to the navigation bar will only save the default usage view.
Open your SharePoint Online site and click on the gear icon (Settings) located in the top right corner of the page.
Select 'Site usage' from the dropdown menu to open the usage report dashboard.
Locate the timeframe dropdown menu on the dashboard and manually select '90 days' to refresh the report data.
