The Status Bar

At a glance the status bar displays information regarding the replication of the data entered, the logged on user details and the current version of Aquila.

Registry Database Replication

In some installations, such as the iBID system, some data collected will be replicated onto a National Registry. Where this happens, the software will intermittently transmit data to the registry database (usually a centrally located database) whilst the software is still in use.

In the status bar the latest message from the replication system is displayed - clicking the status bar panel will display a complete log history for each session should the user wish to inspect it, or copy & paste to send to technical support.

Logged in as [User]

The status bar shows the currently logged in user and the current user permissions. Click the status bar panel to open your user profile in order to edit the logged on user details, view the login history and password settings. Follow link for further information regarding Your user profile.

Aquila Version

Upon logging in, Aquila will automatically check the server for the latest version of Aquila. Whilst this is taking place the software can be used as normal.

If there is no new version available a message will appear in the replication box on the status bar telling the user "Your software is up to date, will check again tomorrow".

If the software is out of date message will appear in the replication box on the status bar telling the user "Your software is out of date Aquila is upgrading to new version" Aquila will then upgrade to the new version. Once the upgrade has taken place a message will appear the asking the user to restart Aquila.
