The Library Analytics modal is unstable at scale, needs fully-featured export function

My (large) team uses hundreds of libraries, and we try to rely on Library Analytics daily to improve our design system. It can be quite unstable at that scale, with the modal being super laggy and unresponsive. It’s very painful for us to actually employ the data because of the tool-- it would be great for analytics to live in a dedicated tab with more fully-featured UX so that page load isn’t having to worry about populating a few hundred Teams (large org) in the background/at the same time.

In addition, it would be !LIFE CHANGING! if there were a way to export the full data-set for libraries to CSV!

Create a tagging system, allowing the user to tag library files within the org as being part of the dataset/design system. Then export to CSV:

Columns:

  • Total Instances
  • Inserts (at current intervals, or use the tool to customize intervals before export)
  • Detaches (at current intervals, or use the tool to customize intervals before export)
  • Detach Rate
  • Usage
    • Rank
    • % of Instances
    • Insert Survival Rate [Instances are what percentage of Inserts]

    Sounds like we should hold off on upgrading to Enterprise, since this is the one of the attractive selling points.

      Depends. If you have a single library, you’ll be fine. If, like my org, you’ve got dozens…analytics are a mess to track.

        Hi Team,
        Are we looking to build an export mode anytime soon?
        Would love to use the data. The current implementation is stifling us in many ways.

          I’m on the Enterprise tier and wow the analytics are on a whole other level of insufficient for our tracking needs. I’m being asked to track 30/60/90/365 day metrics on instance placements, percentage of teams using library, percentage of workspace is using library (impossible), how many inserts, percentage increase/decrease month over month, etc.

          It’s completely impossible. It’s infuriating though because all of the data is clearly being captured. It’s all there in that little tiny modal (don’t get me started on that choice), there’s just no way to export that data. No way to look at a specific month compared to another month, etc.

            Seconding the sentiments here. I’ve been asked to track analytics on our design system; being able to see a table of component-level usage but not being able to export it is frustrating. Have to do a lot of manual copy-paste and data cleaning as it is now.

              A Library Analytics REST API beta was launched for the Enterprise plan this month.
