Remote Authoring

Select one or more items from the Item Entry grid. Click the Bulk Action –> Synch to Remote menu option. This will publish all of the Item Writing security information (does this every time) as well as all of the Item information relating to the selected item(s) in the grid. If a matching remote record is found the information is updated. If no matching record is found all the information is added.

The remote author web application has very limited functionality. Users may only create or modify items in banks to which they have been granted access.

Once an author has finished editing an item it must be flagged to be synchronised with the main Item Writing application. An author may select one or more items to be synchronised. When the items have been selected the author must then click on the Bulk Action –> Set Synch menu option. This will flag the selected items as ready to be transferred to the main Item Writing application.

Conversely in the event that the author no longer wants to synchronise one or more items they those items that had previously been flagged to clear the synch flag. When the items have been selected the author must then click on the Bulk Action –> Clear Synch menu option. This will remove the flag on the selected items.
