My best guess is that someone made the report but then never actually displayed it. A common example would be that you 'Save As' to make a new report - and Quickbase then leaves you in the report settings/configuration page. If you never actually then display the report, I find that it will show like it was used, but never actually run.

Something to consider, but i haven't really verified this:
I once heard that if the report is in a dashboard/homepage and the user never goes to the full report but only access the report through the dashboard/homepage, then it won't count as 'usage'
Do you happen to know whether this is true, Chayce?

I did a quick test and it does appear to be true that if you put a report on a dash without ever opening/looking at it, then it does not appear to show up in the count. I only tested it on the Dashboard, not the legacy Home pages, but certainly it does seem to apply that dashboard usage does not show in usage in some cases.

------------------------------I can confirm what Mark said - seems the counter not registering is isolated to just the new Dashboards. To Tim's point, just make sure that if you're using them that its a consideration if you intend to delete some of these reports that you first make sure they're not being used on a dashboard.
