What is this play icon on my connection icon?

Hello paul,

This is an indicator to show you that the session is in use by another user.

Best regards,

Interesting, that was our guess too, but this doesn't seem to be the case. I have everyone logged off the server and its still showing. In other words, its inconsistent. How does this detect other sessions? We are talking about RDP sessions i'm assuming?

Hello,

Indeed, this is for RDP session.

If you select the Dashboard of that session, on your right, you will see the same icon. If you leave your mouse hover the arrow, you would see which workstation and which user is using the session.

Ah I see, it looks like this info is stored in the DB? Seems like this is for the RDM session, not RDP. I have no RDP sessions on a server yet it still shows the icon and when i mouse over, it shows me a session from my laptop from days ago (stale). FYI.
Thanks for the clarification.

Hello,

Indeed, this is stored in the database.

You can try to delete/recreate the RDP session to see if that make disappear the blue arrow.

Hello,

Has this feature been removed? I was unable to see any play icons in my system anymore. I know it has been before. We are currently running RDM 2020.2.19 and DPS 2020.2.10.
I can see a big list of open sessions in the "Opened sessions"-tab.

Best regards

Hello Andreas,

What entry type are you using? I'm wondering if this might change something, since I'm unable to reproduce the issue (the play icon still appears for me when opening an entry, for as long as it's opened).

Hello,

in this case I tested RDP. I do get a play icon when I am connected, but I do not get the icon if someone else is connected as stated above. Also I do not get the icon in the dashboard view.

In our case we have enable "Warn if already opened" in the properties and that works well. So the client is usually aware of if the session is in use or not.

Could you make sure the "allow entry states" system setting is enabled? You can check in Administration > System Settings > Vault:

That solved it, thank you very much!

Kind regards,

No problem, glad it works for you. 🙂
