Hi Guys,

Thanks a million for all the feedback; I am not the first person to hit this 
requirement then.  Looks like there are a few different approaches we can take, 
most of which will require customisations.  I am surprised/disappointed that 
Remedy doesn’t store a user’s last login time OOTB.

We have just built a customisation which enables our various customer’s end 
users to self-register a new account which assigns them a Read only licence and 
permission only to the SRM portal for their company - we don’t have access to 
their AD so can’t use that.  We want to be able to supply each of the customers 
with a list of registered Users and the last time they logged on – shouldn’t be 
a big deal I said :(  Ps. We are not concerned if we cannot get historic 
information.

The options:
1) Enable User audit log and extract data: Ideally I don’t want to have the 
user audit logs enabled, mainly for performance reasons and the size of the 
log. 
2) Enable Licence usage and extract data: If the licence usage form does not 
track Read licences then this is no good to me.  The main users I am trying to 
track have Read licences.
3) API approach: I like the sound of this but unfortunately this is currently 
my weak spot. May need to do some studying but would not be confident I could 
achieve this.
4) Active link on main homepage forms that triggers on Window Open and pushes 
time to new field on user form:  This may work, although I am not a big fan, as 
I believe there is already far too much workflow that triggers on Window loads. 
An issue is that this would update each time a user opens the form and not just 
the first time for their session.  Misi mentions setting a field which would 
stop the multiple records per session but I am not sure how I would clear this 
when the users session ends? – not everyone will click Logout so can’t use that.

I think option 4 is my best option so far but it’s not ideal…yet.

Thanks for all the help and any more ideas are more than welcome.

Tony
