Schedule List
The Store and Forward window provides a list of schedules that includes statistics to help you evaluate the status, performance, and progress of your schedules.
NOTE
By default, no schedules are listed the first time you access the Store and
Forward window. For more information on adding a schedule, see Creating a New Store and Forward Schedule.
You can use options on the toolbar and the Display list box to change your view of the schedule list. Changing your view of the list allows you to focus on the statistics from various points of view. For example, if you want to view the statistics for a particular Event Collector, you can select Event Collectors from the Display list box. The list then groups by the Event Collector column and makes it easier for you to locate the Event Collector you want to investigate.
To view the schedule list:
Step 1 Click the Admin tab.
Step 2 On the navigation menu, click System Configuration.
Step 3 Click the Store and Forward icon.
By default, the window is configured to display the list organized by the schedule (Display > Schedules) and provides the following information:
