  • On the right side, the Members page will appear with a few action items available to use.

  • On the 'Search by name, email or UID' field, type the user's name, email or UID you want to search.  

UID: A unique identifier (UID) is unique for everyone that has a profile.

You can also export this information by clicking the 'Export' button that sits above the 'Filters' button on the 'Members' page. 


Why Can't I find the user I am looking for? 

The users in YakTrak are provided a unique status in the system. There are 3 different statuses a Member can have:

  • Active: A user whose profile is active and is currently using the system.
  • Inactive: A user can sit in the system as 'Inactive' for various reasons.
    • A new user who has never logged in or an user that hasn't been active for some time.
    • De-activated by an administrator.

A user can also be in an inactive status if the organisation has chosen to disable a user account after inactivity for x period of time

  • Unassigned : A user whose profile is active in the system however does not belong to any team.
By default, the ' Members' page doesn't show 'inactive' members


How do I find an inactive user? 

  • Click on the 'Filters' button on the right.
