Hi Greg, I got it on what capture agents actually are and the way to install them.
I have some fair knowledge on jQuery and have used them in my past projects. But, as mentioned by you in the previous mail[1], is not working, so I'm unable to see the current state of this project. However, was able to access [2], and could understand the UI of the back-end. Can you tell me what should I do next regarding this project? Waiting for your reply. Thanks.
