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.

Hi, WARNING!!! You should not put a field like that User-form. Create a separate form instead. At least in the old ARUser days, modifying a user record forced the client to recache everything, making such a change as you suggest in 4 extremely taxing for your systems performance. But by all

Tony, The 'Global Field' option that Misi mentioned is like a 'system variable' type of thing, you set it, and for the length of the session, it'll remain set regardless of if the form remains open or not, next time they open the form, it'll already be setif they end their session, and come

Hi, And if you use the same field-id in multiple forms, the value will be retained across all these forms. The regular global field range is 100 through 199. They typically are Display-Only, and you will probably want to check the disable change flag option. Best Regards - Misi,

That's great lads, thanks very much for all the advice. I never knew those Global Fields existed so that will make it easier for me. I'm thinking of just doing it on the Service Resquest Console form to start with as that is the main area we are interested in. Tony

Hi Guys, Is there a way to determine when a user last logged into Remedy/ITSM without having to enable the user logs. Basically I want to identify any user accounts that have not logged into Remedy in X months. We have a multi-tenant ITSM 8.1 environment and do not have full control of our

Hi, Why not enable the user-log or the historical-license-usage form as suggested by Terry? I guess if you want to go back in history from today, this would not be an option. And you need to track user-updates to the system, which can be a bit tricky... Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB,

I second LJ's response. It is a simple task to update a field created in the system. There is no way you are going to get information that if you didn't gather it. But it is easy to start gathering it and you can also then assume that anyone that doesn't have the field filled in hasn't logged

Hi, How do you gather a login? In Mid-Tier there is no general trigger. You can put workflow on common forms where users usually go. For example the home-page. But any such change is customization. Using the user-log or historical-license-usage-form is configuration. You can then leverage that
