What is Usage Analytics in Metasys UI?

Usage Analytics is an optional web analytics service that tracks your use of the Metasys software. Johnson Controls can improve the Metasys software by gaining insights into your use of our software. These insights allow Johnson Controls to provide you with a better user experience.

You can enable or disable Usage Analytics in the Metasys UI either at the site level or at the individual user level. As an Administrator, you can enable Usage Analytics at both levels. As a Non-Administrator, you can only enable Usage Analytics at user level, provided that the Administrator has already enabled Usage Analytics for the entire Metasys site.

How do I enable or disable Usage Analytics as an Administrator for the first time?

When you log in to Metasys UI for the first time after you upgrade to the latest release, a Usage Analytics disclaimer appears together with the Metasys terms and conditions.

  1. Read the End User License Agreement in the Terms and Conditions window.
  2. If you want to enable Usage Analytics, select the check box.
  3. If you accept the terms and conditions, tap or click ACCEPT & CONTINUE.
  4. In the Data Sharing window, you can choose to share anonymous data for the entire Metasys site and you can choose to share your own activity on the site on an anonymous basis.
    Important: The default setting is that you ALLOW data sharing for the entire site, and that you OPT IN to share your own activity on the site.
  5. Tap or click DENY to deny data sharing for the site.
    Important: When you deny data sharing for the entire site, you cannot opt in to share your own activity on the site. Additionally, you opt out any users who previously opted-in.
  6. Tap or click OPT OUT to opt out of sharing your own activity on the site.
  7. Tap or click SAVE.
