| Event log The Event log is used to ensure that the System is working properly and to detect causes of possible issues. In the Event log tab you can view in real time all events concerning the System’s operation (for both server and workstations), such as errors, warnings and notifications. All registered events can be filtered by event type and affected computer names. |
| Reports Reports facilitate analysis of the System’s operations. With reports it is no longer necessary to constantly monitor the System and analyze the Event Log. Reports are generated in HTML format and then uploaded to the Internet Explorer window in FBS Server. Using Administrative alerts, reports can be automatically generated and sent to a designated email address or FTP/web server. |
