Each time users log into or off UniVerse, the system records information in the USER.LOGIN.INFO file.
The User Logins Report shows the maximum, minimum or total number of users logged in to UniVerse during a date range, along with a list of the user IDs. After the report completes, the system purges old data from the file.
To ensure the accuracy of the report, run a cleanup routine that checks for abnormal terminations and cleans up the USER.LOGIN.INFO file. Run this routine every night. You can add the cleanup routine CHECK.USER.LOGINS to the overnight list or schedule the routine CHECK.USER.LOGINS.DVR to run as a phantom process.
To run the User Logins Report:
From the Reports > End of Month Reports #2 menu, select User Logins Report to display the User Logins Report screen.
Note: If prompted, log on to the character-based system
In the Br/Tr/All field, enter the branch or territory for which to run the report. Enter all to run the report for all branches.
In the Start Date and End Date fields, enter the date range of login activity to include in the report. You can enter an actual date or variable date in these fields.
In the User ID(s) field, do one of the following:
To run the report for all user IDs, leave the field blank.
To run the report for a single user, enter the user's ID.
To run the report for multiple users, use the Multi hot key.
In the Display field, press F10 and select whether the report should display the maximum, minimum, or total number of users logged in during the designated period. The options are:
Max # of Users - Displays the maximum number of UniVerse sessions running each day.
Min # of Users - Displays the minimum number of UniVerse sessions running each day.
Total # of Users - Displays the total number of users logged on each day. Users may have multiple sessions running, but the program counts each user only once.
To override the value in the Purge Date field, enter an actual or variable date.
This field displays the date the system uses to determine which records it will purge from the USER.LOGIN.INFO file after the report is done. The default is the current date less the number of days specified in the Purge Login Info control maintenance record. The system deletes all records with dates prior to the purge date.
In the Sort by field, press F10 and select from one of the following to determine how to sort the report:
Date - For each day in the date range, the report displays the maximum or minimum data for each branch. This is the default.
Note: Due to the way the program counts logons, the sum of the maximums or minimums for each branch on a given date does not necessarily equal the maximum or minimum displayed for the date.
Branch - For each branch, the report displays the maximum or minimum data for each day in the date range.
In the By field, press F10 and select the sequence in which to perform the sort:
Ascending - Sorts from lowest to highest branch and from earliest to latest date. This is the default.
Descending - Sorts from highest to lowest branch and from latest to earliest date.
In the Detail/Summary field, press F10 and select the mode in which to run the report:
Detail - Displays the requested number of users for each branch along with the user IDs. This is the default.
Summary - Displays the requested number of users for each branch.
Note: When running the report for Max # of Users, the summary report displays the maximum number of users for any day within the date range for each branch and, in parentheses, the number of days in the date range which reached this maximum.
Use the Column hot key to modify the default column layout for the report.
Note: The first three columns on the report are required.
Use the Print, Hold, or Opts hot keys as needed.
