To both assess the efficacy of the SRDP capabilities, the usage patterns, and drive decision making based on informed data we will rely on metrics throughout the project.


Note: Unless otherwise noted collected metrics should be available on weekly, monthly, semester and cumulative timescales.

Archive Usage Metrics

Unless otherwise noted all requirements should be  reported both as the number of primary products and the total data volume.
