== Output ==
The output of ''CumulusUtils'' consists of mainly of text files (extension: .txt) which are generated on demand. In Cutils idiom [[modules|''modules'']]. These text files can be incorporated in a website the user has or is making. Ultimately when using the [[Website Generator|website generator]] feature, ''CumulusUtils'' generates a complete website, uploaded to the user domain and extendable through a [[User Defined Menu|user defined menu]]. When using the [[ChartsCompiler|''Charts CompilerChartsCompiler'']], the user can define his own charts and place the output where he wants just like other ''modules''.
 
All output of CumulusUtils is written [[Encoding_in_CumulusUtils|as UTF8 encoded text files]].
#CUsermenu-example.txt : as an example of the menu structure
#CutilsCharts-default-for-use.def : when used rename to ''CutilsCharts.def''
#CutilsCharts-examples.def : not intended for direct use, contains some more elaborate examples of the [[ChartsCompiler]] possibilities
 
To avoid confusion it is left to the user to edit and maintain the files for use either on the website or on the CumulusMX machine.
In ''Settings=>Web/FTP Settings=>General Settings'': Tick only ''UTF-8 encoding''
 
And if you use the ''[[ChartsCompiler]]'' (or plan to use, you may be more selective later when understanding what and how):
In ''Settings=>Web/FTP Settings=>Interval Settings=>Daily Graph File Settings'': Enable all options except alldailydegdaydata.json and alltempsum.json
otherwise, disable.
'''NOTE: You may disable some fields later when you are more acquainted with the system. Disabling tables and field can be especially useful when you are worried about size of transfer and provider limits.'''
 
If you start using the ''[[ChartsCompiler]]'', you may need the ''[[UserAskedData]]'' command to CumulusUtils. See the [[ChartsCompiler]].
