Version History
This tab lists the current and previous revisions of the job file. The Modified by column shows the email address of the last user to save the job.
Click the three dots under the Actions column to download a job file to your computer. In the event of an issue with your current job file (e.g. accidentally saving unwanted changes or deleting a device), this enables you to revert SB to a known working version of your job.
Licenses
The Licenses tab shows your valid and expired remote connectivity licenses. Owner and Admin users can request licenses.
To request a new license, click the Request license button. Complete the License request form and click the Save button.
| Some license options may be unavailable/hidden depending on your region or project type. |

Job Notes
This tab lists general and area-specific notes for the job. You can use these to track commissioning tasks, log issues, and record useful details.
Log files
Download cloud gateway log files by selecting a specified date. Once downloaded, you can open the log file in System Builder’s Network Log window.
The gateway contains three types of log file:
-
Network Log
-
System Log (Signify System Experts only)
-
MQTT Log (Signify System Experts only)
|
Log files stored on the gateway are overwritten after 28 days, but the DCP stores a backup of previous log files. Log files are uploaded approximately every 30 minutes. If the cloud gateway is offline for more than 28 days, local log files will be lost. |
End-point scan
The End-point scan tab is a diagnostic tool to check that the cloud gateway can connect to all required services. Results should show as passed, but not all end-points are mandatory.
Total failure indicates a connectivity/firewall issue or a service outage. A single failure is more likely to indicate that an individual end-point server is down.
Note the Scan time stamp at the top of the page. To perform a new scan, click the Refresh button in the top right corner.
| Please create a support ticket if any scan results are not passed. |
