Your site might be connected to a network with a central Nexus server used to gather data on the activity of the connected sites. This is done in order to produce statistics and/or manage an on-call schedule to transfer the cases sent to on-call communities to the appropriate staff. The central server is used for these purposes in networks where sites exchange cases in point-to-point mode.
A central server can also be used as a relay between network sites for case exchanges and to store a copy of cases exchanged by each site.
To access site configuration, click on Administration in the Runtime navigation menu, then on Nexus tab and Site directory
