How to read this manual

Bold names are labels in the app: buttons, tabs, switches and fields. An arrow leads through successive places, e.g. Settings → Reference servers.
“Click” means “tap” on phones and tablets.
The app has four tabs: Services, Incidents, Logs and Settings. In a narrow window and on phones they are in the bottom bar; in a wider window, in the sidebar.

If you are just installing the app, start with the Installation page.
