Activity reports for actual activity

I like the new reports feature of the VLM, but would it not be cool if it was able to trend the actual programming activity of the users, and not just how long the license was checked out? 

 

Let's say that if there was no activity (defined for example as not even a mouse movement in any of the IDE's windows) for n minutes, then the system would unregister the license as in use (license-wise it could still be checked out, but not as in activity).

 

Sure, we could use other tools for this, and some people might want to make it optional - but as long as the report feature is there already, would not this little change make it quite a bit more interesting?

Thanks for your feedback! I agree that this data would provide a potentially interesting report for admins. This would be a feature of the application software itself (like LabVIEW, CVI, etc).

 

I will record this idea as a suggestion for those teams.
