Hi All,



I just wanted to know if there is anyway to gerenate a report to list the users that were/are logged into Windchill. I'm tryint to create a weekly report to see which users were logged in Windchill.



Any suggestions would be helpful.



Thanks,



Kiran Lakshminarayanan

It all depends on what YOU want to get out (and put in) to Windchill.
Do you need to track users logged in at all times by name or just know that you haven't exceeded your licenses? Note: Windchill does not keep track of the number of users logged in versus licenses the way CREO does. While you have licenses in your license file, there is nothing stopping you from having 20X that number using Windchill. Some have seen this as a show stopper to Windchill implementation.

If you can live with the OOTB reports on usage, then it is easy. If you want more, you need to do more. The more you do beyond OOTB, the harder it is.

Ben,



Great response.



That makes me feel much better. I will try to stick to OOTB as much as possible. 🙂



Sometimes the language used around here is scary. It's like everyone is a programmer or scientist. lol
