Active Users

General Configuration

The Active Users option from the ICS slide-out provides access to the Integrated Control Suite^TM messaging features.  The active users is used for several purposes including.

1. Enforcing and notifying users about object check-ins.

2. Alerting concurrent editing.

3. Broadcast messaging users.

4. Monitoring logged on users and activity.

The Messaging features can reach users anywhere in IBM Cognos Analytics including all authoring pages, and ICS areas such as the Recycle bin and the Revision History.

Active Users

The Active Users section provides a listing of each active user in the IBM Cognos Analytics system.  Each user session is accompanied by the user’s name and their active location.  Each entry represents a browser window or tab.

Broadcast Messaging

The Broadcast Messaging features provide a mechanism for blasting a message to all current users or individuals in the system as well as new users who log in within the specified period of time.  Users will receive a broadcast message that must be dismissed.  This ensures the user has seen the message and they are free to click around while this message appears.
