Purpose: 
This indicator distinguishes between the intended users who received a KM output and did not look at it and those who took the initiative to read or browse through the output. Often, a survey begins with a filtering question asking whether the respondent has read or browsed a KM output. The answer to this question determines whether the respondent is qualified to answer subsequent questions about the usefulness and relevance of the KM output. It also provides a basis for gauging interest in the output or its topic among intended users.
