Keeping the overview

BBT has been designed to quickly give you an overview of the current status on all things.

In case of a critical event, such as disconnection from the server, a timing unit or similar, the entire client title bar will turn from blue to red, as in the above screenshot.

The status bar at the bottom of the program will also turn red in case of errors or critical errors and give you a clue to what is wrong.

The most detailed status overview is present if you select the 'Timing' view in the left-hand menu.

On the left, the 'Overall status' window gives at-a-glance information about each major component of the system with a status icon indicating if everything is as it should. Details about each component can be expanded if needed.

Clicking a component in the list will give you a list of options specific to that item. For example clicking the result uploader, upload can be disabled or enabled.

Problems might also surface as issues. This could be everything from critical errors to warnings like an unknown tag has been read.

The issues will appear both in the 'Overall status' window as a summary, and with all details in the 'Issues' window in the bottom right corner.

We try to be consistent with coloring thoughout BBT:

Green: Everything is OK
Yellow: Warning. Something might need your attention, but probably not urgently
Red: Error or something you need to pay attention to
