Admin Dashboard
Admin Dashboard is a feature new to version 1.2. The purpose of this option is to have a
quick access point to reports, statistics and data managed by File System Factory™. The
options are available on a left menu, with the option “List All Policies” the default
starting point. The other options include “Engine Status,” “Event Statistics,” “Volume
Statistics,” “Health Check” and “Reports.”
List All Policies
The “List All Polices” page gives a summary list of all the policies in the tree. Policies
are eDirectory objects and can exist anywhere in the tree.
This view provides an easily accessible summary of where policies are and some of the
properties settings, for easier policy comparison. Elements include the policy Full
Distinguished Name, which the administrator may click on and go immediately to the
properties of that policy. The summary includes whether the user and/or group properties
are in use, the selected distribution algorithm, the default directory quota, the number of
paths defined, the selected deletion period, workflow options, and whether quota
management is active, along with the specified quota ceiling, and predetermined
increment (if specified.) Additional detail on workflow options are found in chapter 15,
Workflow, and further detail on Quota Manager is found in chapter 13, Quota Manager.
Engine Status
The Engine Status Page provides the same information that can be seen on the File
System Factory™ Engine Console. The engine status indicates whether the engine is
accepting and/or processing events. General information includes version information,
