Data Analytics Issues Resolved in 2025.05

The following issue was resolved for the Analytics functionality in the 2025.05 release.

Changes to Download Data and File Size in Analytics Dashboard

(SWM-26838)

The following changes were made which affect the Software Delivery Download History report (available from the Analytics menu).

Download Data

Previously, no date filter was applied to the data in the Software Delivery Download History report; its figures were based on all data available at the time in the Data Warehouse and therefore lacked relevance from a business perspective.

To address this, a default filter is now active which restricts download data to the last 12 months. For example, on April 18th, 2025, the data fetched ranges from April 18, 2024 to April 18, 2025.

This filter allows producers to gain insights into software downloads within the past 12 months.

To fetch data for a shorter or longer period, producers can edit the DOWNLOAD_START_DATE filter in the Filters panel.

By default, the DOWNLOAD_START_DATE filter is set to show download data for the last 12 months from the current date.

File Sizes

File sizes are now measured using the decimal system (base 10), rather than binary conversion. This means that 1 KB equals 1000 bytes, not 1024 bytes as in the binary system.

This way of calculating data sizes is now consistent between the Analytics functionality and FlexNet Operations Reporter.
