Anonymous Usage Statistics Tracking

Usage statistics tracking in Orange is an optional feature that can be toggled at any time in the 'Error reporting' pane of the preferences menu.

Upon first start, a popup will ask the user if they wish to share anonymous usage statistics.

Why?

In order to be able to better understand how people use Orange, an optional and transparent anonymous statistics tracking module was implemented.

The information collected is used to adjust the smart widget suggestions system.

Data Collection Format

Per canvas session, a json with the following information is generated:

• date
• Orange version
• operating system
• widget addition events, each entailing:
  • time since application start
  • widget name
  • type of addition:
    • quick menu
    • toolbox click
    • toolbox drag
    • drag from other widget
  • (if dragged from other widget, other widget name)
