Skuid NLX Subscriptions and Usage

Skuid NLX is a subscription-based service. Customers contract for a specific number of distinct users in three categories:

  • Full: Users with full privileges and no monthly limits on logins or transactions. Full is the best subscription for Admins and end users who will be accessing Skuid pages throughout their workday.
  • Portal: Users who share a defined pool of monthly logins. Portal is best for end users who need to access Skuid a few times a day or week, to address specific needs.
  • Public: One subscription that covers all public users, who share a defined pool of transactions. (A transaction refers to any time someone loads a Skuid page, or loads data from a data source.)

Assign and Change Subscriptions

  • When adding users, an admin can choose whether to assign the user to a Full or Portal subscription.
  • Once the number of users designated by the subscription contract has been reached, it will not be possible to assign more users to that subscription category.
    • If you have other available subscriptions, you can assign the user there.
    • You can deactivate a user with the desired subscription type; this frees up a subscription which can be used for a different user, but the initial user is now unable to access the site.
    • Or, if you are out of subscriptions, contact Skuid sales to purchase more.
  • The administrator who created the site will always be designated a Full user; they cannot change their own subscription type or deactivate their own user ID.

Track Subscriptions

Skuid NLX provides a handy tool for keeping track of subscriptions and knowing when you are reaching subscription limits. Navigate to Settings > People > Subscriptions to see the following information for each type of subscription:

Full subscription usage

  • The number of subscriptions currently being used versus the total number available according to the contract.
  • The limit for individual users.
  • The start and end dates for the subscription contract.

Portal subscription usage

The portal subscription card has buttons that toggle between two displays:

Logins

  • The number of logins within the current month.
  • The monthly limit for individual logins.
  • The start and end dates for the subscription contract.

Usage

  • The number of subscriptions currently being used versus the total number available according to the contract.
  • The monthly limit on individual transactions.
  • The start and end dates for the subscription contract.

Public subscription usage

  • The number of site transactions used in the current month versus the total number available according to the contract.
  • The monthly limit on individual transactions.
  • The start and end dates for the subscription contract.

Warning

If the number of allotted monthly logins or transactions is exceeded, no further logins or transactions are permitted.

Graphs

Additionally, there are two graphs: one that displays the total usage for this month (with lines for both transaction and login usage), and one that tracks the same information for the previous month. Rollover the graph to get more information for each line of the graph.
