Home





Starting at the very top is the home section. This will not be used too much and only has 1 main function, to take you back to the main page to select your server or a different server if you have multiple.


Files





Files is the next up! This is a very important area in the client area. Here you can do many different things like view files on the server, edit specific files, delete and upload, rename and more. This is the area you will be if you need to configure / customize your server.

Examples like this is automatic restarts, automated backups and run specific commands. You can follow our guide here for a more in depth guide.




Users





Users can be a very important area in the client area. Here you can give your friends or others access to your server and the ability to customize or configure your server. Here you can also limit the user to just specific areas / tasks to do.






Backups





Backups is a very important area of the advanced game panel. Here you can create backups to save your server information / data incase anything would go wrong and revert back to it at any time. You can have up to 4 saved backups at once and can name them so you know what they are as well as the dates of the backups. We recommend creating frequent backups to ensure your server data is not lost.




Startup





The next area of focus is the startup section. This area will vary by game but will have critical information and variables that you can edit and configure to customize your server.


Settings





The settings area has very valuable information for things like your SFTP credentials as well as an area where you can change your server name and description for the advanced game panel. This is very useful if you have multiple servers and need to keep track of them! Other features are the debug information and a button to reinstall the server.




Activity





The final area of the advanced game panel is activity. This area will give you information on server tasks and what a user has done on the panel. An example of this is "subuser has stopped the server" or "user has deleted file namehero.txt". The activity area can be very important and useful to keep track of subusers and server activity to ensure everything is running smoothly.
