Clear Status Values
Use the Clear Status Values option on the main menu to clear all status 
modifications and to re-initialize the group, authorization code, and extension 
databases.  You can only access this option with the Administrator password.
Figure 3-20   Clear Status Values
NotesWhen you initialize the databases, they are installed to Guardian from the 
Applications Manager, where they were originally created. The Guardian 
Administrator can make changes as necessary (add, modify, and delete records) to 
the databases, but any changes made through Guardian do not change the database 
versions in the Applications Manager.  When you use the Clear Status Values 
option, the Applications Manager’s versions of the databases group, authorization 
code, and extension databases are re-installed in Guardian, overriding those 
previously in use and changed by Guardian.  In effect, this reinstallation erases all 
modifications made to the disable status of all groups, authorization codes, and 
extensions, since those changes are made by the System Administrator directly to 
the Guardian databases, not via the Application Manager.

Guardian Operations Manual Report Formats
Appendix A Report Formats
Introduction
The following report formats illustrate the content and arrangement of the various 
reports available to the System Administrator.  These formats reflect the reports as 
they appear in hard copy form.  When they appear on-screen, the display includes 
Top of File, More, and End of File notations and a command line that can be used 
to move to the next page (DownPage), to the preceding page (UpPage), to the top 
of the file (Top), and to the end of the file (Bottom).
A Disable Time Interval field appears in many of the reports and  includes the times 
at which the group, authorization code, or extension is routinely turned off (Begin) 
and turned back on (End).  The time interval appears in Day  Hour:Minute format.  
The times at which the invalid call attempts are placed appear in a Month/Day/Year    
Hour:Minute format.
The Call Attempt Reports and the Database History Reports contain information 
that has been collected in the Record File since its last initialization.  For instance, 
the following samples assume that the Record File was last initialized on 
November 1, 1990.
Call Attempt Reports
The Call Attempt Reports present lists of call attempts that are considered invalid.  
A call attempt may be invalid because it is attempted during the time that the 
designated group, authorization code, or extension is routinely disabled, because it 
involves a group, authorization code, or extension that the system does not 
recognize among its databases, or because it is made on an extension that has been 
disabled by the system in response to an excessive frequency of invalid call 
attempts.  The first listed invalid call attempt for each group, authorization code, or 
extension is the first one to occur after the group, code, or extension has been 
routinely or unconditionally disabled by the administrator or disabled by the 
system in response to excessive invalid call attempts.
