Working in SmartConsole Session View

The Session view shows all unpublished sessions in the system. The view shows the sessions of the current administrator, sessions of other administrators and sessions from other applications. The columns in the view can be customized and show the session owner, name, description, connection mode, number of private changes, number of locks, application and other values.

To see session information, click Manage & Settings > Sessions > View Sessions.

Administrators with the Manage Session Permission can:

  • Publish and discard their own sessions
  • See sessions opened by other administrators, the number the locks they have and number of changes they have made

  • Publish and discard their own sessions
  • See sessions opened by other administrators, the number the locks they have and number changes they have made
  • Publish & Disconnect the private sessions of other administrators
  • Disconnect & Discard the private sessions of other administrators
  • Disconnect another administrator's private session
  • Take over sessions created by applications, for example sessions created by the API command line tool
