<a name="StatusBar"></a>GFE Status Bar</h1>
January 27, 2009<br>
<hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"><br>
The Status Bar appears at the bottom of the GFE display. It contains
two
complete status bars, each with a message indicator light and message
display.&nbsp;
At the right side of the two status bars is an indicator for ISC send
enabling, a progress bar, and the
current
time. When a new message is displayed, the appropriate message light
will
blink. Messages are color-coded (set up in the gfe configuration file)
and of the following categories:
<ul>
<li>Regular: Successful completion of an operation. (default color:
green)</li>
<li>Significant: An error message usually indicating an operation
cannot be
completed. (default color: yellow)&nbsp; When a Significant message
occurs, the <a href="#Significant">Significant Messages Dialog </a>will
appear.<br>
</li>
<li>Urgent: A serious error usually indicating a server or system
problem.
(default color: red) When an Urgent message occurs, the <a
href="#UrgentMessagesDialog">Urgent
Messages Dialog</a> will appear.</li>
<li>Alert: A warning to the forecaster of an event&nbsp; (default
color: orange).<br>
</li>
</ul>
To acknowledge a Regular or Alert message and stop the blinking,
click MB1 over the message which will change to gray.
<br>
To view a list of previous messages, click on the ^ sign to the left
of the Status message. The <a href="#ViewMessagesDialog">View Messages
Dialog</a> will appear.<br>
<br>
The ISC Send Enabling indicator looks like a red traffic light, when
ISC data will not be sent from this GFE, and looks like a green traffic
light, when ISC will be sent from the GFE.&nbsp; The user can control
the overall ISC send enable through the Consistency-&gt;ISC Send Enable
menu entry.&nbsp; The traffic light is red, to denote no ISC traffic
will be sent, if the ifpServer ISC configuration is
disabled.&nbsp;&nbsp; If enabled, then ISC data will be sent either on
saving, publishing, or manually sending the grids via the Send
Intersite Coordination dialog.<br>
<p>Most of the status messages will appear in the left status
bar.&nbsp;
The right status bar is reserved for incoming ISC&nbsp;traffic and
Smart
Init model arrival messages.

<h2><a name="ProgressBar"></a>Progress Bar</h2>
The Progress Bar is on the right-hand side of the Status Bar. It shows
the progress of a smart tool executing over multiple grids. For
point-based
smart tools, if the user clicks B3 over the Progress Bar, the smart
tool
execution will be interrupted.&nbsp; In this case, the progress is
shown
per grid, so if you are running a point-based smart tool over multiple
grids, you will see the progress bar paint for each grid.
