Monitoring Users and Organizations Sync via the Admin Panel¶
Important
To use LinkPoint Connect(ME) Admin panel, special access permissions are required. To request the permissions for your organization, contact Connect(ME) support team by email. Please note that Admin panel access is only granted to Enterprise customers: the Panel provides tools for managing a big number of end users and some of its key settings it includes duplicate LinkPoint Connect(ME) Customization and Sync settings on Admin level.
Administration panel includes tools for real-time tracking of synchronization statuses of LinkPoint Connect(ME) users and organizations to promptly resolve emerging sync issues.
Sync statuses can be monitored and managed by applying different filters, focusing view on list items with certain parameters. The Organizations and Users for which synchronization is enabled are shown in black font color; ones for which it is disabled are shown in red font color.
You can monitor Users’ sync statuses using the following Administration Panel tools:
• Monitoring Organizations’ Sync Statuses
• Exporting Organizations to CSV
• Monitoring Users in Specific Organization
• Exporting Users to CSV
• Monitoring Synchronization Statistics in Specific Organization
• Exporting Synchronization Sessions to CSV
• Viewing Synchronization Job Details
• Downloading Logs
• Monitoring Synchronization Issues for a Specific User
Monitoring Organizations’ Sync Statuses¶
You can apply filters to the list view and monitor the Organizations with enabled or disabled synchronization status.
To monitor Organizations’ synchronization statuses:
1. Go to the Organizations page.
2. In the search box at the top of the Synchronization Status column, enter your search criteria, for example, enabled. The list will show all Organizations with enabled sync status.
Exporting Organizations to CSV¶
You can export the data from the Organizations tab list as a CSV file. After you apply necessary filters, export the items as a CSV file with their current view applied; the file is viewable and editable as an Excel document. For example, this way you can export all Organizations with enabled or disabled sync status.
To export the data to a CSV file, click the Export to CSV button above the second column. Wait until the document downloads and then you can open it in MS Excel.
Monitoring Users in a Specific Organization¶
1. Go to the Organizations tab and open the needed Organization.
2. On the Users subtab, filter Users by their sync status. To do that, enter one of the following search criteria in the search box at the top of the Synchronization Disabled column:
• False. When set to false, synchronization is enabled for a User. These Users are shown in black font color.
• True. When set to true, synchronization is disabled for a User. These Users are shown in red font color.
