It is important to know how a Data Collector is installed, not only for your information but also for the support team. There are two options to choose from, either PC or Server; which are purely informational. This information will be referenced if there are issues or concerns with data collection information irregularities.
PC: This setting indicates that the Data Collector is installed on a user-type device that may be turned off at the end of the day. Concern: Possible lost time of data collection and late reporting on low supplies.
Server: This setting indicates that the Data Collector is installed on a server-type device that will be on and operational 100% of the time. 100% up-time provides more data collection and accurate reporting on low supplies.
How to define installation:
Confirming the installation type in the Data Collector settings online is done under Admin > Data Collectors. Edit the Data Collector and Settings tab. You can then provide a way for account users, and the support team, to see how it is installed.
