This area describes the Intro user currently selected in the Active Users list. If the selected Intro user has set the privacy control in his version of Intro, then all fields will contain ‘???’, otherwise they will describe the selected Intro user. The following four fields will always appear:
Computer
What kind of Macintosh the person is using.
System Startup
When the person last started their Macintosh
Running
The name of the program the person is using. Note that if the person is running MultiFinder then this will be the current active application.
Idle Time
How much time has elapsed since the person last typed at the keyboard or clicked the mouse.
Additionally, the Phone Number, Room and Comments fields will appear if the selected Intro user has set values for them in Intro. A person may not choose to not set values for these fields, in which case they will not be part of the information for that person. A person may put anything he or she likes in these fields, but it is good practice to put in the suggested information in each field.
Phone Number
A phone number where the person using the Macintosh may be reached.
Room
The room where the Macintosh is located, or the office of the person using the Macintosh.
Comments
Anything else the person would like other people to know.
The Net Number and Node Number fields will also be displayed if you have checked the Technical Information option in the User Profile window. Whether these fields are displayed only depends on you; it does not matter whether or not the selected Intro user has checked the Technical Information option. See the section on setting user options for more information.
Net Number
This is the number of the network the person is connected to.
Node Number
This is the network node id of the Macintosh the person is using.
Notify when active
The Notify When Active control tells Into to continually monitor a person in the background, and beep three times when that user types at the keyboard or clicks the mouse. You do not have to be running the Intro application to be notified when a person starts using his Macintosh, Intro will beep three times when this happens.
You may tell Intro to watch a person by checking this control when that person is selected in the Active Users list. This control is changed whenever the User Information area is changed. It is always turned on if Intro is monitoring the person currently selected in the Active Users list. It is always turned off if Intro is not monitoring the person currently selected in the Active Users list.
You may tell Intro to watch several people, by checking the Notify When Active control in the User Information area of each person.
