If a person enters "Tentative" in the meeting invite, will that be included in the "meeting hours" and/or "collaboration hours" metrics?

Hi @Demirkaya, Abraham [JJCUS] ，

By the "WPA tool", are you referring to the Windows Performance Analyzer (WPA) tool? If this is the case, please understand that under the tag "office-outlook-itpro", we mainly focus on general questions related to the Outlook desktop client and actually WPA is currently not supported in the Q&A forum. Given this, I'd recommend going through the documentation for WPA and see if any relevant information can be found. If there's no document stating this, personally I'd suggest having some tests on your side to see how it's measured.

HI @Yuki Sun-MSFT , I was actually referring to Workplace Analytics (WPA), apologies for not being clearer in my question. It is a tool used for ONA (Organizational Network Analytics) where we can look at an organizations focus vs. collaboration time by analyzing an employees Outlook calendar and meetings that have been scheduled. Here is a link to some documentation: https://video2.skills-academy.com/en-us/viva/insights/Use/Metric-definitions

Hi @Demirkaya, Abraham [JJCUS] ，

Thanks for the clarifying and sorry for my misunderstanding about WPA in my earlier post. From the document you shared, seems like the issue is more related to Viva insignts, so I'll change the tag to “viva-insights” instead.

Hi Abe.

According to this link: Query designer

I suppose by default "Tentative" would also be counted as the user attended the meeting.

It can be excluded from the analysis data.
Please refer to this link: Attendee exclusions
