CardioLog easily integrates personal user data into reports and provides advanced visitor segmentation capabilities by using existing user directories. The User Categories Updates service retrieves user information such as department, gender, and other profile data automatically. In order to retrieve data, first configure Active Directory and/or SharePoint User Profile integration. The User Categories Updates service can also retrieve data from a custom source using the custom user categories adaptor.
