User Activity Tracking: Who Was Logged in?

We are wondering if there is a way to pull a report (or create a custom report) that would show who (which user) was logged in to Sage 100 at the time a specific Pick Sheet Printing session was performed?  Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Do you want to know who was logged in or do you want to know who printed the pick sheet? I suspect the latter is what you are really looking for.

    Who was logged in, I don't know of any way to tell. The system activity log tracks when people log in, but not when they log out, so I'm not sure that would be useful.

    If you want to know who printed the pick sheet, I suspect you could modify the pick sheet to print the user. However, the default spec for the work file for pick sheet printing does not show the user so I think you would have to create a user-defined script to capture the person actually initiating the printing. I've done something similar with who initiated a sales order (as opposed to who the defined salesperson is).

    First off, thank you very much for the input. Actually, we had a situation where someone...with additional role permissions...was logged in to Sage on a specific machine. Another user came behind them, while the other use was away, and performed a pick sheet printing session. As a result, that second user was able to produce pick sheets that did not contain all line items. We suspect this was due to the first user having additional permissions on their user role. We have since instructed these "Special" users not to log in to Sage on that workstation, to prevent unintentional consequences. However, we were just curious to know if there was a way to tell who was logged into that workstation in Sage at the time the erroneous pick sheets were produced.

    For looking in the past, there is no log of print times, but if you query the activity log you'll see login times. (Logoffs are not logged).

    Thank you both for your input. Unfortunately, this input doesn't help us much in this particular situation...but it is good information to know! I very much appreciate your time! :)

    You can add a formula to your Pick Sheet that will tell you who was "logged in" when the Pick Sheet was printed. Create a
    "PrintedByUser" formula on the Pick Sheet. The formula is [ formula = "" ] in Basic Syntax. That will return the User ID without adding any other data tables.
