Combined Logins

Reordering the User List

The Dashboard Management tool lists all users being monitored on your system. All Dashboard users can view the list of users. Manager Logins only can edit user display names, add new users, and organize users into groups. This section addresses users of Spector 360 Client computers. To add Dashboard users, see Managing Dashboard Logins.

Viewing Users  

To view all users:

  1. Click the Management button in the navigation pane.

  2. Select the Users folder in the upper portion of the navigation pane. A list of all users appears in the right pane.  

The fields for each user are described below.

"Combined" Logins

Some users may appear with <combined> in place of the computer or domain login information. This indicates that the Spector 360 Data Vault has been configured to merge each instance of a user's login, regardless of the computer or domain being used, into a single "user" for Dashboard purposes.  The feature is intended for organizations using a Novel or Windows Workgroups network.

Combining computer/domains means that a student, who may log into 5 different computers across a campus in a day, will have one set of Dashboard data associated with his or her user name. The appropriate computer and domain information is still recorded and maintained with each event.

Reordering the User List

To reorder the user list:

Simply click on a column header to sort by that column. For example, if you click on the Domain column header, the users are listed alphabetically by domain name.

Define User Groups
For a system with many users, the Master administrator may want to define User Groups to simplify managing users and selecting criteria. See Grouping Users.
