Vanishing Timestamp?

[Maeve_McCooey]

I may be wrong but did the Timestamp previously display in Admin Analytics? I am creating some guidance in which I was going to direct those using the tool to check the timestamp as the data is not real-time. However I can no longer find a Timestamp, please correct me!

Anyone?

I had to find an old screenshot from June 2023, and there was a timestamp (next to the refresh button) although not very helpful since it was relative.  In another image, it showed "just now."  But, that is definitely gone, now when I refresh it doesn't show anything about time/date.  Perhaps if I hadn't refreshed, it would have shown the date.

Is this what you were referring to?  

Timestamp at top of new analytics

Thanks for getting back to me @Nancy_Webb_CCSF. That isn't what I was talking about but I am impressed with your investigate skills! I thought there was an actual timestamp at the top similar to that which displays in New Analytics (Course). I will add it to my feedback for the Product Manager. Thank you again 😀

Darn, my image doesn't go all the way to the top, just to the filters similar to image below from the web archive.  Maybe there was a date higher up.  On the other hand, that might have been the top.

I looked in the wayback machine (web.archive.org) and this is the image they have for Jun 1 2023.  It doesn't show a date stamp, but I guess it could have been somewhere else.  I hope they will add it!

Now they are going to remove the As of timestamp from New Analytics in courses, because it is misleading.  Guess there's not much hope they will add it to Admin Analytics.

Thank you @Nancy_Webb_CCSF That is annoying. It really would be so much better to have an indicator of some sort letting people know that the data is not real-time.

You’re right! The Timestamp used to be displayed in Admin Analytics, allowing users to check when the data was last updated. However, it seems that the Timestamp is no longer available. If you need to guide users about the data’s real-time status, consider mentioning that the data is not updated in real time and advising them to refer to other relevant indicators or documentation.
