the current view (either “Default View” or the name of the custom view)

•

the time the last data update was received from the site

•

the percentage of data packets received successfully

•

the name of the current user and the user’s privilege level

Warning icons appear in the Last Update field to alert you to a possible connection problem. In the Last Update
