The "Object usage overview" dashboard, part of the 'Adoption' section in Analytics 360, is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of your Salesforce Org's adoption.
Aimed at platform owners trying to assess Return on Investment (RoI) of the development efforts, this dashboard provides a high-level overview of your object utilization.

Prerequisites
The Adoption section, unlike the other sections of Analytics 360, relies on additional data sources:
Record counts provided by the managed package jobs
Permission to read event log data if you have Event monitoring or Salesforce Shield enabled
Objects by record count
This dynamic bar chart shows objects by number of records. By default, when you open the dashboard it only shows the top 10 objects by number of records. When you click the 2 arrows icon (top right corner of the chart) to expand it, you can explore all objects by type (standard, custom, managed package objects) and sort from high to low, low to high, and alphabetically.
This can quickly reveal which objects are being used and aren't being used.
Objects by number of views in the last 30 days
Similarly, the second bar chart shows objects by the number of views registered through event logs. That includes any view (page view, list view, related list view, related record, classic, lightning) on the Object by any user.
This view quickly reveals which objects have actually been interacted with in any way by the users and which haven't in the last 30 days.
