User interface

  • Corrected the link to documentation from user details (go to "Session segmentation" and select a user, and then select the "Learn more" link for the "Extended users..." switch). (APM-313905)
  • On the user details page, the "Extended users..." switch is never disabled now if there is at least one extended user for the specified timeframe. (APM-314148)
