# Capturing VDI data for Employees

If you use ControlUp for VDI & DaaS, the Employees view can include information about remote sessions.

## Prerequisites

To view VDI data in the Employees view, you must meet the following prerequisites in addition to those listed in [Employees View Overview](/v1/docs/employees-view-overview-1):

- Devices must have Remote DX version 2.4.1.2 or higher installed.
- Real-Time DX version 9.0 or higher
- Add a custom setting to ControlUp:
  1. Go to **Devices > Configuration > Settings > Custom Settings**.

  2. Add the following to the JSON string:

```
"WidgetSettings": [
        {
            "widget": "cuagent",
            "configs": [
                {
                    "json": "{ \"DataRequested\": [ %EDGEDX.CUAGENT.DATA% ] }"
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
```

Your Custom Settings must adhere to JSON format. Click **Check and beautify custom settings** to confirm that the formatting is correct and then save your settings. After adding the JSON above, your custom settings should look something like this:
