Connections - Perspective Sessions

Perspective Sessions

Much like the Designers page, the Perspective Sessions page shows a ton of information regarding currently open Sessions. All the open Perspective Sessions are displayed on the page along with some basic information about each session, such as what user is logged into each session and the project they are currently working on, and their IP address. Each session has a Details button that allows you navigate all the elements of a session: pages, view instances, and components.

Perspective Sessions Page

The main Perspective Sessions page displays a list of all currently running Designer and Client Sessions to show how many are open, and the name of the users that are currently using them. By clicking on the Details button to the right of a session will display even more information about that particular session, including any Log Activity pertaining to errors recorded while the session was active.
