Purpose
View the number of Bentley Passports and Visas consumed, and who consumed them, after May 1, 2019. Consumption will be reflected in this report during the billing cycle, meaning you do not have to wait until the cycle has ended to see who has consumed Passports and Visas.
Beginning on May 1, 2019, Bentley Passports and Visas use the concept of a Unique Persona to determine a user.
Once the Windows User has logged into the Connection Client for the first time, the report will automatically determine that it was the same IMS user for the prior 90 days. Visa consumption prior to those 90 days will still be reflected against the original Windows User name. For users with multiple Windows accounts, it is strongly recommended that they log into the Connection Client with their IMS credentials in all Windows accounts.
All Visa usage is counted in 3 month sections. Every possible 3 month period is shown and it is possible to select the one corresponding to the billing or review other 3 month periods.
This report does not show ProjectWise Levels. There is a separate report dedicated for that. You can access it here.
