Charts, charts, charts!

A picture says a thousand words. An upward trending chart says even more!

Google Apps now provides you with usage charts for your business, school, or organization, allowing you to visualize important data such as active users and disk space utilization from within the control panel. In addition, these dynamic charts can be embedded in gadgets and put into Google Docs, Google Sites, or anywhere else that can host a gadget. You can even put them on a public web page - you control who sees your data.

In addition to seeing charts, administrators can now download CSV reports of domain usage straight from the control panel.

Want to graph the data differently or perhaps even access additional information such as the number of accounts that have been idle in the last 60 days? No problem. With the Google Apps Reporting Visualization API you can retrieve a wide range of usage reports for your domain and display them using a large selection of visualizations created by the developer community.

All of these enhanced reporting and visualization features are available for Google Apps Premier, Partner, and Education Editions. Enjoy!
