Configuring Login Tracking for Individual Users

Introduction

Tracking user logins in Business Central helps you understand how your system is used. The “Register Time” feature makes it easy to see when users log in and how long they stay. This guide will show you how to set it up and check user activity.

Pre-requisites

Business Central (On-prem/On-Cloud)

Steps

Step 1: Activate the Register Time Feature

• Go to the ‘General Ledger Setup’ page.
• Find the Register Time option and set it to yes/true. This activates the tracking feature for your entire system.

Step 2: Configure Individual User Settings

• Go to the ‘User Setup’ page.
• Make sure each user has the Register Time setting turned on.
  • If needed, you can turn off this feature for specific users by setting their individual ‘Register Time’ to No. However, remember that if you’ve enabled this feature company-wide, the system will track logins for all users, even those not specifically listed in the User Setup Page.

Step 3: Check User Login Data

• Once Register Time is enabled, navigate to the ‘User Time Registers’ page.
• Here, you’ll see a list of user logins. Each entry shows the date and the total time a user has been logged in for that particular day.

By following these steps, you can easily monitor how often users log in and how long they stay connected to your system.

Conclusion

Tracking user logins and session times in Business Central helps you understand how your system is used. By setting up the Register Time feature and checking the User Time Registers page, you can easily monitor user activity and make informed decisions to improve system performance.
