Administrators can monitor developer activity and changes within a workspace by accessing the Monitor Activity page. The Monitor Activity page features links to numerous reports that track page views, developer activity, active sessions and also view page view analysis reports, environment reports such as browser usage and click counts, and login reports. This section only describes a few reports in detail.

A session is a logical construct that establishes persistence (or stateful behavior) across page views. The Active Sessions report lists active sessions with the current workspace.
See Also:
"Undertanding Session State Management" in Oracle Application Express Application Builder User's GuideWhenever an application is run, the Application Express engine maintains a record in a database table in the Oracle Application Express schema. This table records a numeric identifier (or session ID), the authenticated (or public) user identifier, the creation date, and other information. The session is the key record that enables session state, or persistence, across page requests. By viewing the Active Sessions report, a developer or administrator can see who has been using applications in a workspace. An active session is a session that has not yet been purged from the sessions table. An expired session is a session which has been existing longer than its maximum lifetime or which has not been used for longer than its maximum idle time. A DBMS job runs every hour and purges expired sessions.
