The Publish Point Browser | ||
The Publish Point Browser is a popup window which is broken up into two different sections. Detailed descriptions of these two sections are as follows:
Publish Point List This section shows a list of all of the different publish points (FTP sites) configured in eSurvey. Each of these entries are formatted to display the user name and URL or IP address used to connect to the publish point. An example entry might look like 'john_doe@www.somedomain.com'. By click on one of these publish points, the entry will become highlighted, and eSurvey will attempt to connect to the FTP site. Upon a successful connection, a list of files available will be displayed in the File Browser section. File Browser This section displays all of the files in a given directory on the FTP site. The very first entry always contains a folder icon with an "up arrow" inside of it. By clicking on that entry, users can navigate to the current directory's parent directory. Following that icon will be a listing of all of the directories and files in the current directory. The types of files which are displayed may be configured by an Administrator in the System Options screen. By clicking on directories (folder icons), users may navigate throughout the FTP site. Upon clicking a file (paper icon), the contents of the file will be retrieved and displayed in the main text area of the Insert Survey screen. Sometimes, due to network latency, it may be slow to connect to or navigate through an FTP site. During these times of waiting, the progress bar in the lower left hand corner of the Publish Point Browser will become animated to show that eSurvey is currently busy. << Parent Topic |
