The LInX to LInX Report query allows a System Administrator to see which remote agencies and/or Partner Systems have been accessing their system’s data in the LInX warehouse (Incoming Report); or which agencies and/or Partner Systems have been accessed by users of the local system (Outgoing Report).
This functionality is intended for administrators who have the authority to review agency and user activity in the LInX system. The determination of which users will have access to security administration functions is controlled by each individual agency.
This report provides LInX administrators with important data to help the System Administrator better understand how the system is being used.
Authorized users can access the LInX to LInX Report either from the View Reports title page, or from the menu bar located along the left side of the screen.
When LInX to LInX Report is selected, the following screen appears:
