Re: how to tell if someone is logged in on shared computer?
Hi pl2024, 1) In my experience, the top of the Dashboard has been very reliable, as long as you haven't used "Remote Control" in the last 5-10 minutes. Once you've done that, then yes, it will say it's active if you moved the mouse while in a remote session. 2) The "Most Recent Accesses" panel will always have at least one listing -- your own -- plus any other recent connections.

You may be better off going to the Dashboard (by clicking on the little house icon in Ignition, aka LogMeIn Client), and checking near the top of the "Dashboard" panel for something like one of the following: "The host computer keyboard and mouse are currently active" "The host computer keyboard and mouse have been inactive for 5 minutes" "The host computer keyboard and mouse have been inactive for 2 hours" This is how I determine if I can safely remote into a computer, without disconnecting someone else. BTW, I've found that it will show "...currently active" until it has been idle at least 5 minutes. I've never seen it say anything less than 5 minutes. That's good so there's a small buffer between user sessions.956Views1like4CommentsRe: how to tell if someone is logged in on shared computer?
>"If you click on the information icon to the right of the computer name it will show In Session as the status." That's okay, but the screen icon being green already tells us that, without needing to click on the information icon. How about adding the name or email of the person that is currently "In Session"?1.2KViews0likes8Comments
