2.3.4 ZOOM OPTIONS
With the Zoom function, you can configure the period of time displayed in the
Timeline and Ingest Overview area, i.e. the period between the first and the last
time value displayed. The period ranges from 15 minutes to 1 month.
You can zoom in and out in three different ways:
• using the Zoom command in the menu bar
• using the Zoom bar at the bottom left of the Ingest Scheduler window
• rotating the mouse wheel on the Timeline and Ingest Overview area of the
Ingest Scheduler
Depending on the chosen time period, all the ingest blocks are redrawn to respect
a new time scale. The middle of the Ingest Overview area is considered as the
reference.
2.3.5 THE NOWLINE
In the Timeline and Ingest Overview area, the current date/time is shown by a blue
line, called the Nowline. The nowline can be displayed in two different modes:
Nowline Mode Nowline Behavior
Locked By activating the Lock Nowline button (green
background), the nowline stays locked in the middle of the
Timeline and Ingest Overview area. The ingest blocks
move from right to left across the line to keep the current
date/time in the middle.
Unlocked When the Lock Nowline button is not selected (white
background), the nowline moves from left to right across
the screen. Ingest blocks keep their places on the screen.
