New Features in This Release
Viewing Application Users
Accelerate end-user support with the new Application Users area within View. Select Application Users within the View menu and the list of users that recently used any application are displayed. To find a particular user you're interested in:
- Find a User: Enter a partial user name, email address, company name, or other user attribute to find the user within the timeframe you've accessed.
- Select a Timeframe: Enter a timeframe to view users that accessed an application within that timeframe.
- Filter by Application or Application Environment: Just focused on one of your applications or environments? Filter to the one you're interested in to display metrics and users just for that scope.
View User Details
Understand problems and usage patterns for a single user by first selectiong them from the users list. This will display the details for the user in the details pane. The details enable a wide range of support scenarios, showing recent events & alerts that affect them. For more information, see User's Guide - View - Application Users.
