Model Analytics in Library

Model Analytics helps project teams and executives assess the health and quality of models across projects. By surfacing key model metrics in the Insight tool, project leaders can identify problem areas, track improvement over time, and take action before model issues affect downstream workflows.

Model Analytics is available in the Autodesk Forma Library as a centralized way for hub administrators to manage this service and control how it is applied across projects. From the Library, you can control which projects have access to the Essentials tier of data collection or which projects are paused from data collection. You can also customize which data types are collected for Model Analytics.
