It has been noticed that when you are clicking around in the different pages of the Admin Console, it appears that the UI elements are drawn on the screen in a default state, before the 'actual' state of that setting is loaded and applied to the widgets. Such as the enable/disabled states of various settings - particularly ones using the slider switches. These would show up as 'Off' upon initial page load, but would - a few moments later - rerender in the 'On' state.
This is confusing, and it takes long enough that a couple of times the switch was clicked on again to toggle it's state. So there's enough delay that I can see the default state, think "Wait...didn't I turn that on?", move the mouse over and click on it again, before it finishes loading the actual state of the option.
This is FMS 17.01, running on Windows 2012 R2 (I think).
Is it truly a delay in loading the states, or is the UI just being 'cutesie' in order to show the switches animating into the On position?

Thank you for your post, and I apologize for the late reply.
I am unable to see what you are seeing. Only on first loading of the Admin Console do I see the number of database files go from 0 to 1 within a half-second. After switching to other tabs, where all slider switches show correctly the first time, and then switching back to the Main Dashboard, the correct number of database files displays immediately.
I tried this with FileMaker Server 17.0.1 running on Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016, and macOS High Sierra 10.13.5. I used Internet Explorer on the Windows servers, and Safari on the macOS machine.
Since your loading appears to take more than a second, what browser are you using? Did you run the Admin Console from the server? If not on the server, are you using a browser inside the LAN?
