What happened to the previous usage report format?
I use them to produce Excel Spreadsheets to report attendance. During the active meeting, I change the names that are generic or unclear so that I can remember them after the meeting. For example, iPhone users who don't have their name changed come in as iPhone. This happens multiple times, so I can have 5 different iPhone users. I rename them to keep track of them. This new report does not maintain the name change. It reverts all of the name changes back to the original name, so I've lost all the work that I have done. I also noticed that the report does not go by entrance anymore.
Is there anything I can do to stop it from reverting and taking away all the name changes? Is there any way to go back to the previous report format?
Thanks for kind responses.

It is not clear what you are doing. Did you actually do an export or are you just looking at the screen. The exported usage report in csv format shows the original name inside () and the changed name as the name. the column heading is "name (original name)".

What you can do is require registration for your Zoom meeting to ensure full names can be associated with a participant. You can the generate a participation and registration report with the correct names listed. If you want to automate this there is a Zoom app, Salepager, that lets you generate combined participation and registration reports for meetings with registration.
