Troubleshooting
If you want to troubleshoot what is happening with a table when it is not working, you can look in the nmis log file, which is /usr/local/nmis8/logs/nmis.log, for example, refresh the table and then using the log tool select "NMIS_Log", or from unix "tail -50 /usr/local/nmis8/logs/nmis.log".
You might see an error like below, this is a Perl error and can be read the same way as reading a Perl compile or runtime error. Everything after the <br> is the error.

In this example 'Global symbol "$example" requires explicit package name at (eval 46) line 34' is saying there is a compile time error at line 46 of the evaluated code, in this case the variable $example has not been declared inline with Perl "strict".
