Abstract: A method of monitoring a collaboration space receives an identification of a computerized collaboration space that a user desires to monitor. The method receives, from the user, an identification of events of interest with respect to the collaboration space. The items within the collaboration space as well as the collaborator interaction with the collaboration space are monitored to identify occurrences of the events of interest, and the method records such occurrences of the events of interest. The method can simply output reports that summarize the occurrences of the events of interest. In addition, the method can receive, from a user, one or more queries regarding the occurrences of the events. In response to any such query, the method searches the stored occurrences of the events to produce a response to the query, and outputs the response to the query.

Abstract: A method and apparatus can, while operating a printing device in a test mode, supply a changed transfer field to a marking material transfer device. The changed transfer field is less than or more than the standard transfer field. The method and apparatus disable operations of other marking material transfer devices of the printing device to isolate the marking material transfer device. Further, the method and apparatus compare the actual amount and/or spatial distribution of marking material transferred to a recipient surface (to which the first marking material transfer device transfers the marking material) against a predetermined standard. Then, if the actual amount of marking material transferred to the recipient surface is different than the predetermined standard, the method and apparatus can identify the first marking material transfer device as being a potential source of printing defects.
