Using the Ops Log
Operations Logs capture events occurring on specified channels and for a specified duration. Events include transmissions, messages, translations, alerts, etc. An Ops Log is the sum of all this data stored on the ICE Server for comment and review. Once an Ops Log review has completed, the entire Ops Log can be downloaded as a .zip file.
The primary function of the Ops Log is to review an operation. Ops Logs provide a view of all communication events during the logging period. Events are shown in the order they occurred, and reviewers can comment on an event or a channel (if multiple channels are included in the Ops Log).
*Features
*Ops Logs record all communications from the selected channels. This includes channel audio, channel text messages, message attachments, and alerts.
*Comments may be applied by channel or by event.
*Comments may be added to active logs or logs that have been ended. Archived logs are locked from any further editing.
*Audio playback is supported.
*Archived Ops Logs are available for downloads as a .zip file.
