Summary Tab

The Collab and Sync Summary tab aggregates critical status and statistical information from all File Collaboration, File Locking, File Replication, and File Synchronization jobs in a single table view.  It presents overall job status, basic pending, and bytes transferred statistics.  See the Runtime Reports view for more detailed pending activity information.

Information in this view can be sorted and filtered.  Operations such as starting, stopping, and editing multiple job at once are available, in addition to the ability to clear job alerts and purge quarantines from stopped jobs.  Notice you can scroll the view to see all of its columns.

Column Descriptions

Key columns in this view are:

Pending Bytes – Presents the number of bytes pending synchronization which includes scan work, real-time, as well as bulk adds.

Pending Events – (Hidden by default) Presents the number of total pending items in Fast Queue, Slow Queue and Bulk Adds.  This does not include Renames, Deletes, and Bulk Security changes.  This can contain multiple events for a single file because target locks are separate operations, (e.g., if you add one file, there will be two events for this in queue.)  Scan synchronization is not included, and metadata synchronization is not reflected here.

Queue Items – Presents the number of items in just the Fast and Slow queue (does not include bulk adds).

Background Sync. – Presents the number of initial and full scan items in queue.

Additional columns can be added to and removed from the table using the right-click context menu.

Automatic Updates

For performance reasons, this view is not updated in real-time.  However, the table can be set to automatically update every few seconds.  Select the Auto-Update checkbox to enable this functionality; set the refresh interval (in seconds) in the Refresh checkbox.  Each refresh cycle will update the totals across all active jobs listed at the bottom of the view.

Table Context Menu

Selecting one or more items in the table, then right-clicking will bring up a context menu of available actions that can be performed on the selected jobs.  Double-clicking any item in the table will automatically open the selected job in a tab within the view, allowing you to drill down and view specific information about that single job.

The actions that are unique to this table are as follows:

Purge All Quarantines

Clear Alerts
