FAQ SCRIBE

Scribe is an Enterprise feature as well as an add-on module for the Professional and Developer editions of ConferenceRoom. Although there are more advanced ways of creating Scribe logs and transcripts we will give you the simple step by step procedure, to get started right away. Since this is a set of examples, we will use the name test as a configuration name and use the color Java theme for display.

Step 1:
Select the configuration name for this log and use the following command:
/as log test add

Now you can begin to configure how Scribe will log and how the logs will appear in a transcript HTML setting.

STEP 2:
Select the name of the file where you want to log in raw log format. This simply means that you will find in your /DB/LOGS/ folder a file with the LOG extension. Those are raw log format; they do not contain any type of editing:
/as log test logfile chat.log

Step 3:
Select the room you want to log from: /as log test channel #myroom

Step 4:
Select the name of the HTML page for the Scribe transcripts. The web page extension should be .htm or .html:
/as log test webpage mytest.htm

Step 5:
Now you can select the title of the log, the description and the theme you will use. The themes are from the Java Web theme selection:
/as log test set title My Scribe Test
/as log test set description This is a test to view Scribe Transcripts
/as log test set theme colors

Step 6:
Now lets set the start and stop logging time and at what frequency to log. Don't give up we're there.
/as log test time start 8:00a
/as log test time stop 17:00p
/as log test time interval daily

The result of the above time settings would be for Scribe to start logging at 8:00am in the morning and stop at 5:00pm in the afternoon, every day.

Step 7:
/as log test enable

You are now able to view the Scribe logs for test at:
