Connection Configuration

Warning

The Connection Settings section and all database persistence features are only active when the Folder Stats license includes the Save2DB module. If the module is not included the section remains hidden and no data is written to the database, even when Save Views informations is set to true.

The Connection section is visible only when Save Views informations is true. It defines the SQL Server target and the schedule on which view data is saved to the database.

End time	HH:mm:ss	16:00:00	Latest time of day the save task may start. Tasks that would begin after this time are deferred to the next day’s start time.
Excluded days	List of days of the week (Monday – Sunday)	(empty)	Days on which the save task is suppressed entirely. Commonly set to Saturday and Sunday.

Tip

Enable Alerts only when the web client is used solely to surface views that require attention. This reduces write volume and keeps the database focused on actionable data.
