Using Safari on school-managed Macs? You can now bring that resource usage into Analytics+, including resources accessed outside LaunchPad.
Safari joins Chrome and Edge as a supported browser, giving you broader coverage across your school-issued devices. If your school system uses a mix of browsers, you’ll have more of the activity you need in one place.
See What’s Being Used and Where to Focus
Deploy and enable the Analytics+ Safari extension on your managed Macs to include Safari activity in your reports. Then, put that information to work:
- See which resources students and staff use, including those accessed outside LaunchPad.
- Compare usage across schools, grades, and other rostered groups.
- Spot resources with low usage and decide where training or support could help.
- Bring usage data to your next purchasing or renewal conversation.
Bring More Context to Screen Time Conversations
When school leaders, boards, or families ask about screen time, you’ll have more information to draw on. Safari activity adds to Analytics+ Screen Time reporting, expanding your view of time spent using digital resources on managed Macs.
Review that activity alongside your school system’s learning categories and screen time goals. Use the patterns you find to guide conversations about digital wellness, school guidelines, and how technology supports learning.
