## Metric types

1. **Request status spark lines** - See trends of number of requests **approved**, **denied**, and **canceled** over time.
2. **Average time to request approval** - See how quickly your organization's requests are getting approved. Includes manual, admin, and auto approvals.
3. **Average length of access granted** - See how much access time requests are granting. This does not include admins directly adding users to resources and groups.
4. **Resource/Group request volume** - See which resources and groups are being requested the most.
5. **Break glass usage** - See how often break glass access is being used, and for which groups.
6. **Closed requests** - See what methods are being used to close requests. Includes **auto approval**, **manual approval**, **admin override approval**, **denied**, and **canceled**.

## Time range and aggregates

Change the time range of the data with the date picker in the top right. Select one of the preset ranges, or choose Custom to select a custom start and end dates.

Choose from three duration options—1 day, 7 days, 30 days—to aggregate the data by.
