Why Some Values May Be Dimmed

STA will dim (gray-out) some data elements or resource identifies to reflect a particular status within the library environment.

Elements may be dimmed because:

  • The drive or media was removed from the library system.
  • The exchange has not yet completed. Once the exchange completes, the identifier is no longer dimmed, and the link is active.
  • The alert event types for which a corresponding element does not exist.
  • An upgrade is in process.
