The Queues screen allows one to see the files being transferred. After a rule has scanned, if there is work to be done, it will be passed to the Queue. Administrators can monitor the transfer process, abort a transfer or place the files into a Hold For Release [HFR] state.
This screen displays the CUTID
or Playlist name being transferred, the Destination being copied to,
the Operation and Status. There are other information fields for Queued Time,
Rule Type, Byte Count and X-Tra Information. Each file entered into the Queue
is given an ID to mark it’s ‘place in line’ to be processed.
The main Queues window will default to the Medium Priority Queue for the Medium Transporter. Selecting one of the other Priority Queues will display any activity for that Transporter.
The display and button functions are as follows:
|
Button or Option |
Function |
|
Abort button |
