The Audit page is displayed with the following tabs: Events, Trends, Licenses, and Users.

  • On the Events tab, you can use filters to search for specific entries by start and end date, username, project name, operation type and name, or by application. Alternatively, you can click Download as CSV to export the results as a .csv file.
    The screen capture shows the Events tab of the Audit page.
  • The Trends tab shows the aggregated license usage in daily, weekly, or monthly intervals. You can compare the real usage with the upper limit that you have. But you can check only the result of latest 90 days.

  • On the Licenses tab, you can give the number of licenses that you have obtained for the product and set the threshold percentage for the floating license usage. Those settings will be used to calculate whether an over usage warning or error notification should be generated or not. In addition, you can define a main list of users who use the authorized licenses. By default, everyone uses a floating license.

    A notification will be generated whenever an over usage occurs. It might be a warning or an error. This kind of notifications will be generated only once a day. When a new notification is generated, you can see a red dot on the Notifications (bell) icon on the upper right corner of web page as the new notification indicator. Click the Notifications icon, a dialog box that shows at most 10 of the latest notifications opens and the red dot disappears.

  • The Users tab provides a list of users and used licenses. You can assign an authorized user license to a specific user.
