FAQ

Does Discover show a built-in side-by-side comparison view? No. Use the filter-and-compare workflow in this article. Filter to one school, record or export the data, then filter to another school. What if a school shows no data? The OU may have no usage during the selected date range. Expand the date range or select a different OU to confirm. See Fix Missing Data for more steps.
