I am new but so far very excited about the product I have read the online documentation a couple of times but cannot figure out what maintenance mode or service is supposed to do.

I think this is covered in the manual too, but here is an a short description:

Maintenance mode disables all notifications on the computer. While maintenance mode is enabled you don't get notifications from that computer until you disable it.

Hope that makes sense,

Paul.

I did not see it in the manual but I guess I could have missed it . I did find the question and answer in another forum question so I am not the only one that missed it ... Once I found it I could not figure out how to retract my question.

I am very impressed by how quickly my two questions were answered... I am sure you have just picked up a new customer ...currently looking at a big screen to mount on my office wall so I can show system health via the dashboard lol
