User Activity Views

The User Activities View provides information about all user activities on every monitored endpoint. Each time a user logs on to a monitored endpoint, all actions performed by that user are captured screenshots, and metadata is collected about the applications, registry settings, files the user accessed, and so on. (It is the default view in the Use Diary.)

From this User Activities View you can:

See latest user sessions from all the monitored endpoints with the default date filter.
Display session time by the endpoint or server location.
See each time a user logs on to a monitored endpoint, all actions performed by that user are captured s screenshots, and metadata is collected about the applications, registry settings, files the user accessed, and so on.
Launch the ObserveIT Session Player, which replays the entire recorded session from beginning to end.
Filter what you see by time period, user and/or endpoint.
View detailed information about the session as well as user activity in chronological order.

Show time: Show time by the server location or local endpoint location. Use to switch between the time options. (See Showing Agent Time.)

Select the Period of time or date range for which you want to display the sessions.
From Show time by, select Server time or Endpoint (local) time.
From the Login drop-down list, select the relevant user name (or use auto-complete which provides a list of matching user names). You can also enter text directly in the Login field to search for the required login name or select the required user name from the Login List popup window.

Clicking the User statistics link opens a window displaying statistics about the selected user during the specified time period, including a breakdown of the computers that were accessed by the user and the daily number of screen frames that were recorded by ObserveIT.

Clicking the Search link enables you to see the results of search operations for the required logins (see Viewing Search Results).
From the Filter by endpoint drop-down list, select the endpoint name you want to filter by.

Select Show IP if you want to show the IP in addition to the endpoint name.
Click the Show button to refresh the page to display list of sessions per your selected criteria.
