1.9 DE-ACTIVATING A LOG SHEET
While a log sheet is active, it generates database activity and network traffic.
Whenever a clip is created, for example, the database is searched and every log
sheet that contains a timecode that is in the clip will be updated.
De-activating log sheets when they are completed will improve the performance of
the system. Log sheets will no more be processed in the database, which reduces
the database activity and network load. It is, however, possible to browse all its
logs as usual.
