>"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"?
I do notice however that this status does not auto refresh - I have to kill LogMeIn and restart it for it to refresh this status. Is there a better way to refresh this status automatically or at the click of a button? Thanks
HI pl2024 ,
You will still see the "In Session" status if a remote session has recently ended, but it should eventually refresh. Is it possible the session recently ended?
Hi KateG. thank you for your reply. It's quite hard for me to be very sure as many people can access the terminal via logmein and some are a couple of time zones away.
The main reason I surmise the terminal has been inactive despite showing "in session" is that I kept checking by killing logmein and restarting it and it kept showing in session but then when I finally login the main app that people use and has a timed auto logoff is not signed in. It's just impractical to email a whole bunch of people to ask if they are on.
Logmein does show "online since" but that seems to reflect when the machine was last rebooted. I just wish it showed when was last activity.
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:
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.
