Recorded User Activity Events

Spector 360 records when user Log ON and OFF and inactivity. With the Dashboard, you can tell which users begin and end work on time, and how much work is being done based on periods of inactivity. Find out if a user is logging on but not accomplishing computer work, or if the network is being used or abused after hours.

To view User Activity Details:

Use the Data Explorer or User Explorer to open an Events window for User Activity. Click Load Events to view recording details. The following fields are recorded for each event and displayed in the Events pane. You can print and export this data for any user.

Start Login - Marks when the user logged in.
Start Activity
- Marks when the user began typing, scrolling, or clicking the mouse at the computer.
Activity
- Records the duration of activity.
Start Inactivity
- Marks the point at which there has been no activity for the specified "inactivity" time period, and inactivity is beginning.
Inactivity
- Records the duration of the inactivity.
Logged Out
- Marks when the user logged out.

To navigate in the Events:

In the Events grid click any field to select a record and then scroll up or down through the records, or use the "Play" buttons at the bottom of the grid to move through records.

To copy from an events field:

Right-click a field and select Copy or double-click the field to access an edit mode. You can't change the field, but you can select and copy the field contents to paste where you wish elsewhere; for example, copy a URL and paste it into a browser window.

To sort the records by any field:

Click any field column header to order records. Fields are sorted by time, amount of time, or alphabetically. For example, clicking Action would sort the records by Activity, Inactivity, Logged In, Logged Out, etc. Hold down the Shift key and click on column headings to sort by multiple fields (e.g., Action and Total Time).   

To select how many records are shown:

Use the tree in the upper-left Navigate pane to select a higher (more records) or lower (fewer records) branch in the Event Group. Click Load Events to see the records for the group branch you have selected in the Events pane.  This allows you to adjust the data for report and export purposes.
