User Sessions Log

In the Logs > User Sessions section, you can view statistics about all current and completed user sessions. By default, two data views are available:

  • List - displays the list of all records

  • Today - displays records for sessions of this day

You can manage views using the View: [View Name] list on the Module menu. You can also customize the default view using the standard Customize View window and save your customizations as your own custom views that will display the log data exactly as you need.

Each entry in the list contains Closedstatistics about a particular user session.

Fields displayed by default:

  • Logon Time - the last time that the technician logged on to the Alloy Navigator Express module.

  • Duration - the session duration (the difference between the current time and Logon Time value).

  • User Full Name - the technician’s full name.

  • Module Name - the Alloy Navigator Express module where the technician is logged on: Desktop App, Web App, or Mobile App.

  • Termination Reason - the reason why the user session was terminated:

    • Logout - the user logged out of the Alloy Navigator Express module manually.

    • Terminated - the session was terminated by the Alloy Navigator Express administrator or by another user logged on under the same account.

    • Timeout - the inactive concurrent user session was terminated automatically after a specified amount of time.

    • Disconnect - the session was terminated automatically when the server determined that the connection with the client was lost.

  • Session Count - the total number of active concurrent and named user sessions at the time the user logged on to the Alloy Navigator Express module.
