Additional Top Ribbon Features

Status Indicators

The status section has indicators to display if the system is currently offline or online, as determined by the Network toggle in the Link action, and to show any faults present. When a fault or Warning is present in the system, whichever category that represents the fault or warning will display a color, red indicates a fault while yellow indicates a warning.
