Identifying Users Online Now

[tford]

For a list of users online now:

1) Add attribute to RegularUser BO:

RegularUser.LoggedOnNow (Yes/No type)


2) Add rule to RegularUser BO:

If NMB_OF_SESSIONS(RegularUser)>0 Then
RegularUser.LoggedOnNow='Yes'
ELSE
RegularUser.LoggedOnNow='No


3) Run a process with these rules:

FIND ALL RegularUser
UPDATE RegularUser
DISPLAY 'Users Online Now'


4) Query will have the following FIND:
FIND RegularUser WHERE RegularUser.LoggedOnNow='Yes'

Hi,

If users closes the browser without clicking the "logout" button -> than the users still appears online.

Do you know how to kick off those zombie online users?

Thx,

[tford]

When those users time out, they should disappear from the list.

Yes,
Unfortunately I have a huge time out set, because my users complained about that they are timed out to quickly.

Don't know how to find a compromise here ...
