Login Log
The Employee Login Log report displays the date and time each user logged in or attempted to login to
ATOM. In addition, it displays the computer’s IP address of where the login was attempted. This is a
very helpful report to ensure employees are only logging in at the office and not at home.
SEE: ATOM > Reports > Management – Login Log
OTE:
Usually an office has a unique IP address which rarely changes unless you restart your router. All
the computers inside the network of the office will have the same IP address.
