# Cohorts **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|

You can analyze your users' GitLab activities over time.
|
|
|
|
To view user cohorts:
|
|
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Menu > Admin**.
|
|
1. On the left sidebar, select **Overview > Users**.
|
|
1. Select the **Cohorts** tab.

|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
How do you interpret the user cohorts table? Let's review an example with the
|
|
following user cohorts:
|
|
|
|
![User cohort example](img/cohorts_v13_9_a.png)
|
|
|
|
For the cohort of March 2020, three users were added to this server and have
|
|
been active since this month. One month later (April 2020), two users are still
|
|
active. Five months later (August 2020), one user from this cohort is still
|
|
active, or 33% of the original cohort of three that joined in March.
|
|
|
|
The **Inactive users** column shows the number of users who were added during
|
|
the month, but who never had any activity in the instance.
|
|
|
|
How do we measure the activity of users? GitLab considers a user active if:
|
|
|
|
- The user signs in.
|
|
- The user has Git activity (whether push or pull).
|
|
- The user visits pages related to dashboards, projects, issues, or merge
|
|
requests ([introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/-/issues/54947) in GitLab 11.8).
|
|
- The user uses the API.
|
|
- The user uses the GraphQL API.
