RatheDG Cachalot System 1.2.0

User Interface Notes

  1. Management

    1. User card

      The price coefficients for session price calculation can be overridden at user creating/updating. The system uses coefficients specified for group, to which this user belongs, if coefficients are not specified (all three fields are empty). Only all of coefficients can be specified simultaneously.

    2. Host card

      There are three variants of address/name pair setting at the computer creating/updating:

      1. Only name is specified. The address is automatically detected.
      2. Only address is specified. The name is automatically detected.
      3. Both address and name are specified. Specified values are used as they are.
  2. Statistics

    It's necessary to specify which statistics information you want to obtain before the generation of statistics. There is a form on statistics page that contains appropriate checkboxes for each column of statistics report to make it possible to specify whether to show the column in report. It is also possible to limit the set of concerned entities by enumerating them with comma in corresponding input field (e.g. to get user statistics just for users with names user1 and user2 in 'Session statistics' it's necessary to enter user1, user2 in 'Username' field).

    There are following variants of specifying the concerned period:

    1. Both first and last dates are specified — generate statistics about events happened (or finished) in specified period.
    2. The first date is omitted — generate statistics about all events happened (or finished) before specified date.
    3. The last date is omitted — generate statistics about all events happened (or finished) after specified date.
    4. Both dates are omitted — generate statistics about all events.

    Output information can be divided into equal periods by checking 'Output period' and specifying the period. Each period contains all events, which have happened (or finished) in this period. If some event occurs on the boundary of two periods it is considered belonging to the latter one.

    Filled form can be saved as a preset with a name for later usage.

  3. Settings

    1. Input date/time settings

      Input format for date can be set at this page. The sequence order of day, month and year can be chosen and separation symbol of date can be set. Input format for time also set on this page.

      Following variants of input format are possible:

      1. hours[:mins] [day]
      2. hours[:mins] [day.month[.year]]
      3. hours[:mins] [month.day[.year]]
      4. hours[:mins] [[year.]day.month]
      5. hours[:mins] [[year.]month.day]
      6. [day] hours[:mins]
      7. [day.month[.year]] hours[:mins]
      8. [month.day[.year]] hours[:mins]
      9. [[year.]day.month] hours[:mins]
      10. [[year.]month.day] hours[:mins]

      The values specified in square brackets can be omitted.

      0<=hours<=24 (if the specified hours equal to 24 then minutes must equal 0), 0<=mins<=59, 1<=day<=31, 1<=month<=12, 0<=year<=9999.

      If the specified year is less than 2000 it's supposed that counting starts from 2000 year (e.g. 5 means 2005). Numbers 29, 30, 31 can be specified as day value for any month. And if this number exceeds number of days in month it'll be treated as actual last day of month.

      Examples: (Specifying of period [a, b], format for date is dd:mm:yy and for time is hh:mm)

    2. Output date/time settings

      Output format for date can be set at this page. Specified formatting will be applied to all dates in output on other pages. The exclusion is the date of beginning of period on statistics page. This date is always output in long format.

    3. Preferences

      There is an ability to set automatic detection in language setting. In this case first suitable language specified in web-browser's 'Languages' settings will be selected.

      The number of digits after comma specifies precision of output of real values on statistics pages.
