Hi - The Following changes are available on the CONNECT Portal
1. The new EVD Report (Earned Value Discount) has been added to the “Product Usage Report” tile
2. "How Connected Are Your Users? has been changed to "How are you Connected?". This will display the same data.
3. In the "CONNECT Licensing Usage Report", the 4th tab called “CONNECTED Users” has been removed. This data is now available in the EVD report
Could we have some more information for this:
1. What do you mean by CONNECT Portal? Is that the same as Enterprise Portal?
2. Where is the Product Usage Report tile?
3. What do you mean by How are you Connected?
4. How do I get a EVD report? If I click EVD at our Enterprise Portal it just downloads a pdf.
Hi,
I have exactly the same query! I originally wanted to post this question, but I found Stuart ask for the same already.
Glenn Fernandes, when you mentioned any web page, please provide a link to this page. I think this is a standard approach and normal best practice.
I am as confused as Stuart:
I have to admit I have understood my customers who migrated away from Bentley products, despite of products like MicroStation can solve their issues, because UX is terrible and to find anything, especially for not native English speaker, is unsolvable challenge consisting of fragmented confusing marketing names used over many different webs and systems.
With regards,

I've followed the advice provided in Glenn Fernandes post regarding the EVD Report. There are a couple of things here that don't seem logical.
1. Why not have the EVD report under the EVD tile? I would never have found the EVD report under the Product Usage Report Tile unless it was pointed out.
2. When I attempt to run the EVD report I am presented with a Windows security dialog box asking me to authenticate to qap.bentley.com. Given that I am already authenticated using connection client why am I being presented with yet another authentication dialog box?

OK so I've found the EVD report (thanks Paul) but could we have these discounts in ££'s? We don't use $$'s in England.
Jan,
I used the wrong word. It is the CONNECT Center (formerly the Portal). I have made the change. The URL is the same as it has been since it was introduced years ago: https://connect.bentley.com/
Thanks,
Glenn
Paul,
Your feedback has been noted by the User Interface team so they are going to review the layout and how the tiles are configured.
