Errors and warnings

Overview

Error and warning messages are displayed at the top center of the user interface.

Messages are removed after 5 seconds (unless you hover over the same, when they remain displayed until 5 seconds after the muse is moved away).

Notification of errors and warnings is also provided via a button at the main toolbar.

The button is only displayed once one or more errors and/or warnings have occurred in the current RPI client application session. Once shown, the button is augmented with a red circle when new errors or warnings are listed.

The red circle is removed when the button is clicked, which displays the Recent Errors and Warnings dialog.

The dialog contains the following:

• Copy All Messages to Clipboard: invocation of this option copies the following error or warning details to the clipboard:

  • Date/time

  • Type: Error or Warning

  • Details

Errors and warnings are presented in reverse chronological order. For each error or warning, the following are displayed:

• Icon

• Details

• Duration since occurrence

Hovering over an error or warning displays a Copy Message to Clipboard button. Invocation copies the current message's details to the clipboard. When an error is pasted, it will include an error code, which can be referenced when contacting Redpoint Support.

Client Application Log File

As well as errors being flagged for your attention within the user interface, details are also written to the RPI client application log file. This is a text file written by default to ‘C:\Temp\RPI\trace.log’.
