Track Snippet Usage with Analytics and Heatmaps

SprintBrain records every expansion so you can see which snippets your team uses, spot adoption trends, and act on real data rather than guesswork.

SprintBrain records every expansion so you can see which snippets your team actually uses — not which ones you think they use. Open the Analytics section of the dashboard to turn raw usage events into actionable insight.

Contribution heatmap

The heatmap shows snippet expansion activity day by day across the past year, modeled after a GitHub contributions graph. Each square represents one calendar day; darker squares mean more expansions on that day.

How to read it:

• Empty squares — no expansions on that day
• Light squares — a few expansions
• Dark squares — heavy usage day

Use the heatmap to:

• Spot onboarding dips after a new team member joins
• Identify weekends, holidays, or quiet periods
• Confirm that a newly shared snippet folder is being adopted

Hover over any square for an exact count and the full date. You can toggle the Private contributions setting to show or hide exact counts in the heading and tooltips.

Top triggers table

A ranked list of your most-used snippets, showing four columns for each entry:

Column	What it means
Trigger	The snippet shortcut name
Total expansions	How many times the snippet has been expanded across all team members
Field fills	How many times a dynamic field inside the snippet was interacted with
Last used	The date of the most recent expansion

Use the top triggers table to find two kinds of opportunity: high-value snippets worth polishing (used often — small improvements have outsized impact) and low-use snippets that might need a better shortcut, a clearer description, or simply a reminder to the team that they exist.

Usage charts

Library-level charts break down expansion activity by:

• Snippet — see exactly which pieces of content drive the most value
• Folder — compare adoption across different topic areas or teams
• Team member — for shared folders, see who is getting the most leverage from the library

All charts update in real time, so the numbers reflect actual usage with no sampling or delay.
