5.0 - Concurrent Logins

To track service use, the Admin can generate Login Reports. A Login Report lists each instance of a login within the stated date range (inclusive) and time zone.

To generate a report:

  1. Set Start date, End date and Time zone.
  2. Click Download CSV. The report downloads to the local device.

If opening in a spreadsheet application, such as Excel, you may need to expand the width of the columns in order to view the content.

The Login Report provides the following information for each login:

  • Date/Time stamp of login to Axis
  • Login (Username) of person who logged in
  • Total Concurrent Logins Count
  • Concurrent Logins Purchased

Concurrent Logins Buffer: This is the number of logins beyond the purchased number of logins that Axis allows as a buffer.
