Uploading Comments Back to Please Review
When you are back online you can use the upload functionality to return comments and proposed changed to the server and automatically remove the review from the OLC.
- Select the ‘Upload’ icon:
- The upload reviews dialog box will open, displaying all your reviews on the OLC. All reviews will be automatically uploaded and deleted from the OLC unless you select ‘Keep’.
- Upload In selecting the ‘Keep’ checkbox, the review will be updated. Any comments you have made which have not been uploaded will be uploaded, and the entire review will be automatically downloaded again.
Important: If you do not check the 'Keep' box, the reviews will be removed from the OLC regardless of whether you have commented upon them or not.
- You will receive a confirmation that the upload has been successful, and you can close the window.
The comments you made will be added to the main review on the server with the date and time of the comment being shown as the upload date/time.
Note: If the Review Owner has deleted the review but it is still in the recycle bin (if enabled) the OLC will still successfully upload comments. The Review Owner will get the standard watching email notification if watching the review.
Multiple Servers and Other Options
The OLC has the capability of working with multiple Please Review servers. If you have multiple servers defined (under options), you will have a server selector appear on the inbox to the right of the upload/download icons.
- All actions and displays in the OLC are selected server specific. Therefore, the list of reviews in the OLC inbox is solely for the server selected. Uploads and downloads are likewise server specific.
- The ‘Options’ icon gives you the ability to add servers and set other options. The ‘Servers’ tab allows the addition/deletion of servers. Simply follow the server set-up wizard or select the server and delete it.
- The ‘Options’ tab allows the setting of two connectivity options:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Ask when connecting to network | This will ask the user if they wish to proceed when they ask the OLC to perform an action that would require a network connection. Normally used if the user is on a slow or costly connection like a mobile phone. |
| Don't use Internet Explorer Proxy settings | This option stops the OLC from using the same route to the Internet as MS Internet Explorer (IE). The OLC will attempt to directly connect to any servers listed, rather than use any IE-defined web-proxies. This is only required if the user is having problems talking to the Please Review server and should only be selected after consultation with support personnel. |
