Overview

The manage tab is split in 2 rows :

  • Action buttons
  • Downtimes scheduled (the list of planned downtime)

Note: An error could be displayed on the top of this tabif the backend server has a gap
of more than 30 seconds with the computer displaying the UI Visualisation portal.

Having a difference between your computer and the server will prevent you to schedule
good downtime.
