Please bring back the Active Users or Active Wprkstations option. You go to do something and get "Make sure you are th eonly user" so you then race around the building and phone the person working from home etc etc before doing anything. Ridiculous.

Could we please have the "Active Workstations" bought back - is very useful when trying to determine who is in the file when you want to backup/roll over.

Hello
With the older versions of MYOB eg Premier and AR Plus when you had to complete a task that needed to have all users out of the system you could easily check who was logged in and then log in as a single user to ensure the integrity of what you are doing. Now there is no way to check or ensure that you are the only user. I find it interesting that MYOB poses the question but gives no way to confirm this. Short of running around the building and checking everyone's pc to make sure everyone is logged out and then hope that by the time you get back to your desk nobody has logged in seems somewhat of a large oversight. This is an important function and hope this can be rectified.
Thanks!

I agree the Active Workstations was a great idea in the classic version and saved a lot of time running around trying to workout whom is on the system.
In V2015.1 prior to performing a backup, I have to ensure all users are lodge off by ringing around or physically checking workstations if unattended. This is a real hassle and a waste of time.
Please bring back this feature?
Isn't MYOB all about saving time?

When someone signs in MYOB knows who are they are as they have to enter their user name and password, and MYOB also can easily tell when that person logs out by trapping (as it's calling programming) when the program is exited.
MYOB will already have code ensuring that the logged in user can only access the parts of the program they are allowed to visit so it will be easy for them to record them logging out when the program is exited.
Therefore it should be easy for MYOB to build a list of active users, just record all users that login to a table including the date / time they logged in.
My 2c.
Thanks.

Hi Kelly81
Thank you for providing your comments in regards to this idea.
As others have mentioned AccountRight does keep a database record of which users are recording the transactions and when they have logged in and logged out of a company file. At this stage you are unable to see what users are logged in to the file at one particular time. - Suja_P10 years agoFormer Staff
Thank you for your feedback, Kelly81. Your feedback and that of others on this Idea post have been passed on to our developers. We can certainly see the benefit in being able to see a list of all currently logged in users in a file. We will provide an update as soon as available. In the meantime we encourage others who would like to see a list of Active Users to please add your votes to the Idea.
