How to track user activity in LabVIEW?

[VKC]

Hello,

I am trying to find a way to track user activity in LabVIEW and eventually save it in a file for future reference.

i want to track/log all the clicks or actions the user does in a particular LabVIEW session.

Is there any example or documentation that provide an insight on this?

that sounds...creepy. what for?

I guess you are talking about tracking this in the LabVIEW Development Environment, and not within an executable built with LabVIEW?

If this is an exe I can definitely help you, if not, really creepy indeed;)

Hi David/mbaudot,

Yes it may sound creepy, but the idea is to provide the user with a way to automatically run through a set to steps that he/she has already done in previous LabVIEW session(s) as opposed to manually doing all the activities from scratch. This way the user experience can be enhanced multi fold.

There is another IT issue I want to address by doing this, where in user log off is required when the user walks away from the setup triggering the user to start from scratch again.

I want to implement this feature in both the development environment and the exe as well.

Hi DanyAllard,

Thanks for the link. I will try it out and get back on how it works out.
