Cloudica: How to Search for a User

How to Search for a User

By default, the Live Feed dashboard displays all the logged-in users' data of the current date. To filter the displayed feed to a specific user in the Live Feed module, follow the guide below.

There are many ways to view a user’s feed data. A good way for this is using the User Search or the search bar of the Dashboard Application.

The User Search is located at the header of the Dashboard Application. To use the search function, do the following:

Click the search bar and type in the name of the user in the input box.
Matching results will display in the results container and on the Online Users List.
Click the user you want to view in the search result container.

The dashboard will then display only the searched user’s data in the Live Feeds display.

When you search for a user through the search function, the Online Users List is also filtered and shows the same results from the search query. You can use the Online Users List to tell if the user you are looking for is online and what their current Monitoring Status is.

Using the data module from the search container

This method also uses the User Search function of the dashboard. Moreover, this way can be used in whatever dashboard module you are in.

Click the search bar.
Choose the Live Feed button from the search container.
Type the name of the user.
Pick the user from the results list and the dashboard will open the Live Feed dashboard with the chosen user’s data already displayed.

Another way to use the data module from the search container is to:

Type the first name of the user you are looking for.
Click the Live Feed button from the search result container.
Click the user’s name from the results list. This will immediately open the module and pull up the user’s Live Feed data.

Using the User Box menu

You can also find a user’s Live Feed data by using the User Box menu from the Virtual Workspace dashboard.

Type the first name of the user you are looking for.
Click the Live Feed button from the search result container.
Click the user’s name from the search list. This will immediately open the module and pull up the user’s Live Feed data.

Select the user from the dashboard.
Right-click anywhere on the User Data box and a pop-up menu will appear.
Then, choose “Visit Live Feed” from the menu options.

To clear the User Search filter, click the back arrow in the search bar.
