Connection Status allows you to quickly see if your DairyComp integrations are communicating and properly transferring data with DairyComp. Connection Status runs in the background, essentially watching for connection failures and notifying you when they occur.

Integrations (such as ParlorBoss and Pocket CowCard) show as cards on the Connection Status dashboard. You can configure the dashboard to show only the cards (i.e., integrations) you want. Each card contains information about the connections for that integration. An integration can have one or multiple connections associated with it.

The following information is displayed for each connection:

- The date and time of the last connection check-in
- The name of the device (which is user-configurable)
- The number of days, hours, and minutes since the last connection check-in (i.e., the "Last Sync")
- For **Licenses**, the expiration date

When a card is <font color="#67854E">**green**</font>, all of the connections associated with that integration are connected properly with DairyComp. When a card is <font color="#EF4444">**red**</font>, at least one connection for that integration has failed.

## Showing All or Local Connections

The Connection Status dashboard allows to you view all your connections, or just those local to your machine. To do so, select the switch at the top right of the dashboard to choose between the following choices:

- **All Network:** Displays the status of all connections across the entire DairyComp network, including connections on other clients and servers. This provides a comprehensive, system-wide view.
- **Local Client:** Displays the status of only the connections that are local to the client you are currently viewing the dashboard on. This view is useful for troubleshooting issues specific to your local machine.
