Hi Qlik!
I need to somehow show "Number of unique users".
Is [Client_machine_identification] the field for me?
Background:
Several objects show a count of unique users using the field [Authenticated User].
That does not work in my clients environment, because they use anonymous authentication thus all users get [Authenticated User] = 'Anonymous'.
I cannot use the field [QlikView User] either, because not all apps use authorization.
That leaves me with the field [Client_machine_identification] and hence my question:
How is [Client_machine_identification] calculated?
Does it always return the came hash for the same IP/MAC whenever that user connects, or how does it work?
Is [Client_machine_identification] the field for me?
Kind regards

I'm not completely sure but I think the [Client_machine_identification] is the lowest possible level. But it isn't enough then a user could use more than one device. I think you must combine several parameter - machine + ip + osuser + qvuser to come to the nearest solution.
