PTIONS

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.

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.
