In the usage metrics for dashboards and reports, show the names and/or email addresses of the end users.

FYI: The current usage metrics feature is documented here:

Please! We need this. Every time I start to build this I realize how ridiculous it is that I'm having to and it's not already there

Absolutely necessary. If we wish to understand the usage of reports or if reports are to be changed we need to understand which users wold be affected.

RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports

Need to know who (by name) is using what report. Otherwisw metrics have no meaning

Metrics don't seem overly useful to me without this feature

RE: Show email address or user name in usage metrics for dashboards and reports

Yes and most of all being able to see usages metrics for all reports and dashboard and all the Workspaces.

Right now you only have the possibility to see usage metrics for the current Shared Workspace you are looking at. You might want to create a Shared Workspace for monitoring the usage of all reports and dashboard across all Workspaces.
