Functionality "Service mode" is used to switch the system between service mode and normal mode. The service mode is used to carry out maintenance and repair activities, during which the users can not use the system. Switching to the service mode results in an immediate logout of all logged-in users from the system (except for the user switching to service mode) and blocking access to the system for all users until normal mode is restored (except for the user switching to service mode).

To switch the system to the service mode, select the "Service mode" function from the "Administration" menu and click the "Switch into service mode" button.

In service mode, the emphasized phrase "SERVICE MODE!" appears in the header of every page of the system. If the system is in service mode, then to restore the normal operating mode, select the "Service mode" function from the "Administration" menu and click the "Restore normal mode" button.
