43.3 Recording User Actions in the Database

Two Agile PLM preferences determine what type of user actions to record in the database for later retrieval. See also "Default Systemwide Preferences."

  • Record Recently Visited History

    No – Agile PLM tracks read access by recording the Recently Visited list at these events: at logout, at timeout, or when the user kills the browser. The Recently Visited History can be set to 10, 25, 50, or 100 in the Recently Visited Folder Size preference. If Recently Visited is set to 25, and the user has accesses more than 25 objects, when he logs out, only the last 25 objects are recorded in the database

    Yes – In order to track all the read access actions of the user, Agile PLM records the Recently Visited list at these events: when the Recently Visited set limit is reached, when the user logs out, at timeout, and when the user kills the browser.

    The Agile server maintains a table (VISIT_HISTORY) to record the Recently Visited records.

  • Record Simple Search

    Enabled or Disabled

    When enabled, Agile PLM records in the database basic information about the Simple Searches that have been run. The information recorded includes: userid, time stamp, and search string.

    The Agile server maintains a table (SIMPLE_QUERY_HISTORY) to record the Simple Search information.
