Viewing session details for data recorded by SPP

Using the Search interface > Viewing session details > Viewing session details for data recorded by SPP

From the Search interface, you can view session details for data recorded by SPP. To view session details for data recorded by SPS, see Viewing session details for data recorded by SPS.

If you have linked your SPS to your SPP deployment, the icon in the Search interface indicates that data was recorded by SPP.

To search only for data recorded by SPP, enter origin:("VAULT") in the Search query field.

To view session details, click the button in the last column of the relevant session.
