Viewing User Activity

Security Note: 

To enable access to the User Activity settings, users will need the following permissions in Series25 Group Administration:

Viewing signed-in users:

  • Admin: 12.0 Create, Edit, and Copy Contacts

Viewing and removing locks on Events, Locations, and Resources:

  • Admin: 27.0 View Locked Objects
  • Admin: 27.1 Remove Own Locks
  • Admin: 27.2 Remove All Locks

For users that are not System Administrators, removing locks also requires Object Level access to the objects you want to remove locks for. If you cannot access these features, contact your 25Live Administrator.

When you open an object in 25Live to edit it, a lock is placed on that object. The lock is removed after saving changes. If a lock persists due to a technical issue, users with proper permissions can remove it.

When a user is creating an event and assigns a location or resource, a pending reservation (assignment) is created to hold the object(s) while the user finishes creating the event. This is done to prevent conflicts that would occur if another user tried to schedule the same location or resource at the same time. If the user is interrupted during the event creation process, the pending reservations are never discharged. 25Live lets you view and remove these pending reservations.

1. Go to the System Settings View, and Access General Settings

The System Settings section is accessible from the More menu in the top navigation bar.

When you locate the lock you wish to remove, use the Delete button OR select Remove All to delete all active locks. You will be asked to confirm.

Warning: Be Very Sure Before Removing a Lock

Use your administrative power with care to be sure you're removing the correct lock and one that will not cause the work of another active user to be lost.

How to Remove Pending Location or Resource Reservations

What Is a Pending Location Reservation? 

When a 25Live user is creating an event and assigns a location, a pending reservation (assignment) is created to hold that location while the user finishes creating the event. This is done to prevent conflicts that would occur if another user tried to schedule the same location at the same time. If the user's browser crashes during the event creation process, the pending reservations are never discharged. 25Live System Settings lets you view and remove these pending location reservations.

When a 25Live user is creating an event and assigns a location or resource, a pending reservation (assignment) is created to hold the item(s) while the user finishes creating the event. This is done to prevent conflicts that would occur if another user tried to schedule the same location at the same time. If the user's browser crashes during the event creation process, the pending reservations are never discharged. An administrator can remove pending items when needed.

1. Go to the Location or Resource Pending Subsection

Links to remove pending reservationsImage: The subsection links are on the left side. 

After opening the User Activity area, use the Pending Locations or Pending Resources subsection links.

2. Select Reservations to Delete

Deleting pending reservationsImage: A Delete button accompanies every pending reservation.  

Currently, pending reservations are listed. Use the Filter field to narrow down the list. Use the Delete buttons on any line to remove reservations then confirm the action.

Again, be careful using the power in this feature to be sure you're only removing reservations that are no longer needed. 

Warning

If you’re unsure whether or not a reservation is still active, don’t remove it.
