6.4. Tools
6.4.1. {Management} – select this menu item to launch the Resource Management
dialog, which is the central interface for management of Media Titles, Users,
Groups, Members, Defaults, Items, Periods, and Types. The Resource
Management dialog encompasses much of the facility assets and is used often
while managing the many elements of the facility configuration. In fact, the majority
of the data entry required to configure a system occurs using two tabbed dialogs:
the Facility Configuration dialog under {Server/Configuration} (see section 8)
and the Resource Management dialog under {Tools/Management}. Therefore,
the Resource Management dialog is covered within a dedicated section of this
manual. For comprehensive information regarding the Resource Management
dialog, see section 9.
6.4.2. {Bulletin Board} – select this menu item to launch the Bulletin Board dialog,
which allows creation of a text bulletin board for distribution throughout the campus.
This feature works only in conjunction with the AMX VTI-6 character generator. As
AMX no longer manufactures the VTI-6, and because many new solutions have
emerged regarding character generator technology that are more desirable than the
VTI-6 solution, the Bulletin Board should be considered obsolete. It remains in
Phoenix only for sake of backwards compatibility with Synergy facilities that still use
the VTI-6 Bulletin Board.
6.4.3. {Backup Database} – select this menu item to create a duplicate of your Phoenix
database. This is another feature that has carried forward through the years since
Synergy’s inception but is not necessarily useful in current environments. It is the
strong recommendation of RealmCtrl that the entire Phoenix directory be included
