Administering clients

Note The following information is for server administrators and group administrators.

The Activity > Clients tab lists the users, including FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Go, FileMaker WebDirect, and FileMaker Data API connections, currently connected to databases hosted by FileMaker Server.

The Activity > Clients tab also lists the FileMaker Script clients that are created:

•when a FileMaker script (or script sequence that includes a FileMaker script) runs as a scheduled task

•when the Perform Script on Server script step is used to run a FileMaker script

If you are a server administrator, you can manage client connections for all hosted databases. If you are a group administrator, you can manage only the client connections associated with the hosted databases in your administrator group. The Activity > Clients tab lists the client connections you are allowed to manage.

Viewing client details

Select the client in the list to view client details below the list. For FileMaker Script clients, user name shows the schedule name, and the type is listed as FileMaker Script.

•Use the Databases Open tab to view the list of databases that the selected client currently has open. See About databases open details.

•Use the User Details tab to view details about the user’s system. See About user details.

Notes

•If you are a group administrator, your server administrator must create your administrator group to allow you to manage the client connections for the databases in your group folder. For more information, contact your server administrator.

•You can directly interact with the list. For example, you can sort items in the list by clicking a column heading, put the columns in a different order by dragging the column heading, and resize the width of a column by dragging a column heading border.
