  • 4 minute(s) read

The enabled status of an account is listed in the Enabled column of the Logging page. 

    • If logging is enabled for the account, this column lists "Yes".
    • If not, the column lists "No".

The Change Enabled setting changes this status from "Yes" (on/enabled) to "No" (off/disabled) or vice versa. You can change the Enabled status of logging for one account at a time or for multiple accounts at once.

  • When logging is enabled in nVoq Voice, the logging level is increased to "DEBUG" and logs are sent automatically to the administrator console each time the user signs out of Voice.

Enable Logging Page Columns

Logging-Enable-Logging-columns

Logging Will Be

This column lists whether logging will be "Enabled" or "Disabled" for the selected user after the Save button is clicked on this page.

The only time you will see "Disabled" in this column is when multiple accounts were selected on the previous page when "Change Enabled" was selected from the toolbar and at least one of the accounts already had logging enabled.

Username

This is the username that the account holder uses to log in to the client.

First Name

This is the first name of the account holder.

Last Name 

This is the surname of the account holder.

Current Expiration

The date that client logging will end or has ended since the last time logging was turned on for the user. Once the logging period has expired, the client will turn off logging and clear out the Log Collection Expires date the next time the user logs in to nVoq Voice.

If the Log Collection Expires date is in the past and logging is not actively enabled, the date in this column will remain even after the user logs into nVoq Voice. The date will be removed the next time a new logging period expires and the user logs into the client.

New Expiration

This is the new date that logging will be disabled once you click Save at the bottom of the page. It changes when the number of days is selected from the Collection For menu at the top of the page to make the new expiration date the selected number of days away.
