Summary
- Microsoft Viva Insights is adding a new Registry tab in the Agent 365 Dashboard to provide a comprehensive inventory of agents across the organization.
- Adoption reporting will be expanded to show activity for agents with identities, including instance-level drill-down details and associated agent instances.
- The update also improves handling for soft-deleted agents and agents published by both the organization and users, which should make reporting more consistent.
- Users with access to the dashboard through Viva Insights VFAM controls, along with business leaders and change/adoption specialists, are the primary audiences for this change.
- Administrators should review Agent 365 Dashboard access and update training/enablement materials to explain the new Agent assisted hours and inferred task insights.

Action required and recommendations
We recommend that administrators review the new Registry tab and the reporting experience for agents with identities, verify who has access to the Agent 365 Dashboard by reviewing Microsoft Viva Insights VFAM controls at the user, group, and tenant levels, and review existing access to the Agent 365 Dashboard. Administrators should also engage their works council or employee representatives if applicable and update internal training and enablement materials to explain Agent assisted hours and inferred task insights.
