Active User List

This Help topic refers to the following editions:

þ Enterprise þ Small Business

 

The Active User List located on the DocuXplorer Desktop Ribbon under Home | Active Users List displays a list of users logged onto the network server using DocuXplorer.

 

The Active User List displays a group for each user accessing the DXLibrary and is then sub-grouped with a row for each Cabinet they have open (shown as Network Address: IPC Connection X).

 

TIP:

Occasionally  there might be a  user in the Active User List whose name is: ADS Internal User 1. The ADS Internal User 1 is created internally by the Advantage Database Server to do its background services. It does not count towards  the  total licensed user count  

By positioning the mouse over a header column a brief description will appear describing the type of value in the column.

 

Active User List

 

The header will contain the following information:

Right Click Pop Up menu

Send Message - Sends a pop up message to a users computer

Close Application - Sends a message to DocuXplorer on a users computer to shut down. This may not work all the time as a document could be open and DX is prompting the user to save their changes before a shutdown can take place.

TIP:

The Active User List displays a connection for each Cabinet a user has open. In the image above, the user has multiple connections. This indicates the number of Cabinets the user has open.

This feature is a valuable tool to determine if anyone is using DocuXplorer before performing  an update or any other Administrative function that requires all users to be logged out of DocuXplorer. .
