How to Resolve the “Chart Already Open” Message in Mavim Manager
When opening a Visio chart in Mavim Manager, users may receive a message stating that the chart is already open. This is caused by a disconnected session, which occurs when Mavim Manager is not properly closed or the browser enters sleep mode. This article explains how to identify and resolve the issue.
Use Case
This solution applies when:
- A user tries to open a Visio chart and receives a message that it is already open.
- The user is no longer actively using Mavim Manager.
- The session was not properly terminated.
Step-by-Step Instructions
What Causes a Disconnected Session?
A Disconnected session may occur due to:
- Mavim Manager crashing.
- Closing the browser directly
and not using File → Close or the Mavim Manager close button. - Clicking Abort in a dialog box instead of refreshing the browser.
- Leaving Mavim Manager idle for a long time (browser sleep mode).
- Battery or power settings that put the device to sleep.
How to Resolve It
- Wait for automatic timeout: Disconnected sessions end automatically after 6 hours.
- Contact the Service Desk: If you need immediate access, the session must be manually terminated by the Service Desk.
- End a frozen session yourself: If Mavim Manager is still open but unresponsive, follow this guide: End a frozen session
Tips
- Always close Mavim Manager properly via File → Close or the designated close button.
- Avoid leaving Mavim Manager idle for long periods.
