CHROMiX Maxwell draws on a wide range of technologies. This page summarizes those technologies for those interested in Maxwell's underpinnings or who are working on supporting Maxwell through API communications.
Maxwell Technologies:
- Dates and Times
- Maxwell is international time aware and stores all dates in UTC form. Unless translated explicitly by Maxwell through an API or the web interface, all times will be in UTC (GMT).
- For the web interface, Maxwell automatically detects the time zone configured in the user's web browser - which typically is directly drawn from the user's operating system settings. All dates in Maxwell's web interface are displayed in the user's local time zone unless otherwise directed by the user.
- Notifiers
- Notifiers are event handlers you can attach to almost any Maxwell object type. When a particular event relating to that object occurs, the notifier will wake up and handle whatever task you have specified.
- To create Notifiers, navigate to the desired object and click on the triagular Notifier icon on the bottom right side of the object's detail pane. Click the list's '+' button and a new notifier is created for you to configure.
- Note: An important distinction between Notifiers and almost all other Maxwell objects is their ownership. A Notifier's owner is set to the user who created it rather than the owner of the related object. This allows you to attach Notifiers to objects you don't own.
