You can now see when users were
last active
on the platform - not just when they last logged in.
This updated column on the User Dashboard shows the most recent user activity (like clicking or navigating), giving you a clearer and more accurate picture of actual engagement across your team.
Plus, we’ve introduced a
Status column
to clearly show whether users are
Active, Invited, or Deactivated
. This makes it easier to manage user licences, track who’s onboarded, and take action accordingly.
💡 Bonus:
You can filter and sort by activity date, making it easier to identify inactive users or track changes over time.
⏰ The new data updates every
30 minutes
and extends across custom reports, group pages, job roles, and more, helping you manage licences and engagement with clarity.
