Viewing Usage of Employee and Partner Applications


The Named User Monitor view contains a usage history record for each Siebel application running. The usage history record shows a running total of all named users who have logged into the application. The total is initialized at zero and incremented each time a new user logs on.

The usage history record for each application has a set of user log records associated with it: one user log record for each user ID who has logged into the application.

License Tracking scans for login identifiers every 5 minutes. Any login IDs not previously encountered are added to the User Log list for the application.

When a user's login is deactivated, the user log record is automatically deleted from the Named User Monitor view. For information about deactivating employees, see Deactivating an Employee.
