How to Enable File Activity Dashboard in the Admin ConsoleThe activity dashboard allows users within your organization to view who has read a specific document, and when. This feature works with Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides. As a Google Workspace administrator, you can control whether users see each other's file activity on the Activity dashboard. The names of users who have viewed Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides files, as well as the times they viewed them, are included in the file activity. As a Google Workspace user, you can find out more about Activity Dashboard here . Using the information from File Activity, team members can collaborate more efficiently by making informed decisions. Users must have Edit access to the file and be in the same domain as the file owner to view the Activity dashboard for that file. Users cannot access the Activity dashboard for files that are not in their domain. How to Let Users See File Activity (Activity Dashboard) 1. To get started, open the Admin Console and navigate to Apps > Google Workspace > Drive and Docs. 2. Leave the top organizational unit selected if you wish to apply the same settings to everyone. Otherwise, select a child organizational unit or a configuration group. 3. Select Activity dashboard settings. 4. Next to Users’ view history, choose one of the options that specify who can see file views. If you choose the second option "On - only within (your company)," people from outside your organization won’t be able to view the activity dashboard for your company’s files. Individuals can still restrict activity dashboard view tracking Each user has the option to either hide the viewing history for all files or just a specific file. As a user, your history will no longer be accessible if you decide to hide it, whether for all files or just one particular file. Any views made while view history was disabled will never show up in the future if you decide to turn on view history again.
