What you’ll see

​
Summary cards

Four headline numbers across the top:
  • Active this period — Number of users who used any Windmill feature or logged in during the selected date range, with the adoption rate underneath (active / scoped).
  • Feedback this period — Total pieces of feedback submitted, including Windy prompted feedback, proactive feedback, and Shoutouts.
  • Pulse survey responses — Total Pulse responses submitted during the period.
  • Multi-feature engagement — Percentage of active users who used 2 or more features during the period.
“Active” includes both Windmill Dashboard logins and user-sent messages to Windy in Slack. An employee who only ever chats with Windy in Slack still counts as active — Windmill doesn’t require people to open the web app.

​
Weekly active users

An area chart showing weekly active users (WAU) across the selected date range. Click any week on the chart to open a side panel listing every employee who was active that week.

​
Feature adoption

A breakdown of adoption for each of Windmill’s tracked features:
  • Windy — Chatted with Windy in Slack or in-platform, including chats they started and Windy-initiated chats they replied to
  • 1:1s — Edited shared notes, responded to prep questions, or accepted or dismissed agenda suggestions
  • Feedback — Submitted feedback through Windmill (excluding shoutouts)
  • Shoutouts — Sent approved recognition to a colleague
  • Private notes — Created at least one private note about a colleague
  • Pulse — Completed or created a Pulse survey
  • Performance reviews — Participated in a review cycle (drafted or submitted answers)
Each feature shows its adoption rate, a progress bar, and the number of users. Click any feature to see which users engaged with it.

​
Feature adoption over time

A multi-line chart showing the adoption percentage for each feature over the selected range. Use the Daily / Weekly / Monthly toggle to change the chart’s granularity. The default is Weekly.

​
User Stats

A sortable table with one row per user in scope. Columns include:
  • Windmill Active Days — Distinct days the employee logged into Windmill or messaged Windy
  • Per-feature activity counts: Messages to Windy, 1:1 note edits, agenda topics accepted and dismissed, prep sessions responded to, feedback given, Windy prompted feedback submitted, Shoutouts sent, private notes created, Pulse responses submitted, Pulses created, performance review drafts saved, and performance review answers submitted

​
Scope

Use the shared Analytics filters and date range to change the report scope. Product Usage includes active Windmill members; archived employees and people without a member account are excluded.

​
FAQs

Any of the following in the selected date range:
  • Logging into the Windmill Dashboard
  • Sending a message to Windy in Slack
  • Any of the feature activities (1:1 note edits, feedback submitted, Pulse responses, etc.)
Even a single qualifying event in the period counts. The summary card’s “or logged in” language is shorthand for this combined definition.
The Feedback this period summary includes both Feedback and Shoutouts. In Feature adoption, Feedback and Shoutouts are tracked separately. Feedback covers submissions through Windmill. Shoutouts covers approved recognition sent to colleagues.
Windy prompted feedback is submitted in response to a prompt from Windy. Proactive feedback is initiated by the employee.
Pulse adoption counts employees who completed or created a Pulse during the period. People who received a Pulse but didn’t respond don’t count. If you want to track response rate for a specific Pulse, look at that Pulse’s report directly.
The same scoping rules as AI Adoption apply — only active members appear. Archived employees and people without a Windmill member account are excluded. Invite missing employees from Members.
