Killing a user session

In Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013, user sessions are controlled by client services. The NAV administration client provides plenty of options to manage user sessions; however, some time is needed to kill a particular session. With the help of this recipe, we will add a small code on the NAV standard session page to kill the session.

How to do it…

1. To start, open Object Designer and open page 9506, Session List in the design mode.

2. To edit actions, navigate to View | Page Actions (Ctrl + Alt + F4).

3. Under the action group Session, add a new action with name Kill Session.

4. Set the following properties for the Kill Session action:

   Property	Value
   Image	Delete
   Promoted	Yes
   PromotedCategory	Category4
   PromotedIsBig	Yes

5. Let's add the following code to the OnAction trigger of the Kill Session action.

   IF CONFIRM ('Are you sure?') THEN 
     STOPSESSION("Session ID")

6. It's time to save and close the page.

How it works...

As NAV provides a standard page for active sessions...
