Viewing Other Users’ Recently Viewed
If your account has administrative rights, you can view other users’ Recently Viewed items.
- In the upper right, beside the page title (‘Recently Viewed…’), you will see a ‘Viewing:’ dropdown.
- Select the name of the user you would like to view.
- The page reloads and you see that user’s Recently Viewed items.
This is available on each page of the Recently Viewed module. Total Party Planner remembers which user you selected to view while you are within the module. Once you navigate away it resets.
