Hi,

Our users requires Log out button on the Dashboard Report, have any of you guys come across such a requirement.

I have searched on net but didn’t get anything on it.

Is there any way around for such a requirement?

Hi,

Thanks for reply.
It should be same as anyother log out button, end the session and take the user back to Login screen.

Fine i got it. Basically, user wants to open dashboard document on the server and after analysis he needs a log out button to close the dashboard rather than closing the browser window. Here you need to do some fix since no default logout button is provided for xcelsius like a connection refresh button.
you can achieve a similar thing with this.

  1. add a url button on the dashboard document.
  2. Give the url same as the server url on which the document lies.
  3. once the user finished with the dashboard usage when he clicks on the logout button, it will take him to the same server window from where he browsed to the dashboard.
    Hope this helps…!!1

Thank you,

Thanks Jeevan,

We are only providing users with URL they are not accessing reports via Launch pad, so we cannot direct them back to main screen.

So when user clicks Log out it should just kill his session and bring back to lo-gin screen of the URL.
