Each software license enables one machine to be active at a time while the license is valid. To use DraftSight on more than one machine you should purchase and activate an additional license for each machine. You can transfer one license from one machine to another, but you will need to deactivate the license on the current machine before attempting to reactivate on a new machine and there are limits to how often you can do this.
1. If one user starts a survey and saves a draft of it (before returning to it later), does that draft get saved on that person's particular phone or is the draft available to all users of that survey even though they will each have their own phones and ArcGIS Online accounts.
2. If #1 is not how it works, is there a way to create multiple draft folders so that User A can save her drafts to User A Draft Folder and User B can save his drafts to User B Draft Folder, and so on?
Ideally, I want to make sure that User A doesn't end up interfering with User B's draft surveys, since the flow is meant to start a survey at your desktop, save it as a draft, and finish it in the field.
The first part of 1 is correct `If one user starts a survey and saves a draft of it (before returning to it later), does that draft get saved on that person's particular phone`, the draft will be saved on that particular persons device and is not available to the other users. Please see this documentation for more information on the different boxes available in the Survey123 field app.
The workflow is each user, separately on their own phones and using their own log-ins, starts X number of surveys at their desk and saves each one as a draft. Then they go into the field and go to different sites where they resume each survey at each site and complete the survey by recording a geopoint and send in the survey. Then when they're back in the office, I review their survey records with them on the computer to process the data. They all do the same tasks, but I want to make sure each user has access only to their own drafts, not each other's drafts or finished surveys.
FDA is issuing this draft guidance to provide recommendations on computer software assurance for computers and automated data processing systems used as part of medical device production or the quality system. This draft guidance is intended to:
As my id is linked to my account, not my computer or browser session, I would expect therefore that drafts created on, say, my desktop computer would also be accessible on my laptop (within the 7 day grace period)
Under Save messages, select or clear the Automatically save items that have not been sent after this many minutes check box.
You can also use this option to change how often draft messages are saved. Enter any value between 1 and 99.
If you use Outlook for iOS or Outlook for Android, your drafts will automatically synchronize to your mobile device. From there, you can finish messages you've started at your computer, easily add attachments from your photos or camera, or use Office Lens to capture notes from a whiteboard in a meeting.
A Student wrote me the following email:
"I have a request about the platform, I am trying to add different files as sometimes I do it from work on my spare times and not using my computer the whole time so that means I cant save it. As I send the assignments sometimes things are missing and I would like to add them but the platform only allows me to add a new attempt for the assignment which is weird cause in lexis training we could do that last time.
I don't believe this is possible. What kind of assignment(s) is the student trying to complete? Are they online quizzes (using either Classic Quizzes or New Quizzes), or is it a regular assignment such as a written draft or essay paper? I wonder if the instructor would be open to letting the student use something like Office 365 or Google Docs/Drive to save their document on the cloud, and then the school could set up the O365 LTI integration or the Google LTI integration so that the student could select the document from his/her cloud storage to submit to the assignment. This would essentially eliminate the need to save a file on a local computer and not being able to access it on another computer...since it's all web-based. I suppose another option would be for the student to save his/her work on a USB thumb drive, and then he/she can take his/her documents wherever he/she goes.
The professor was so happy with my previous efforts that he asked me to try to help him with another, more obscure issue. A few weeks ago, he started an email but never sent it. The draft was sitting in his Apple Mail's Drafts folder when he inadvertently deleted it. He knows the exact date and time when he deleted but he has not tried to recover it using either Time Machine or Migration Assistant.
This university uses IMAP to access university emails from within email clients such as Apple Mail. Knowing that any draft email is only accessible via the email client in which it was created, my hunch is the draft email is not an actual file and thus is not retrievable using either Time Machine or Migration Assistant.
I could set up my email on my test system, create a draft email, create a Time Machine backup, wipe the drive, and attempt to recover the draft email using the Time Machine backup or Migration Assistant. Before I do that, I wanted to check to see if this would even work. Are draft emails created under Apple Mail saved as actual files?
I haven't tried it, but in theory you should simply be able to go into the Time Machine backup, locate the draft message you're looking for, and restore it. The message isn't stored as an individual file, but Time Machine does the hard work of opening the mailbox database file and showing you the contents.
By default, drafts for gmail will be stored on the server, but one can change this for the email account in question in Apple Mail (Preferences > Accounts > select account > Mailbox Behaviors tab.
I made no modifications there and find that it's set to store Drafts on the server.
David, I would prefer not to get into a debate as to whether or not drafts are accessible in multiple locations. As I mentioned, the university email system is managed through Google but I cannot confirm if there are other settings (outside the end user's purview) that store draft emails locally instead of on the Gmail server. I have spent quite a bit of time testing this. Thanks.
I informed you that - with the default settings left in place - that the draft email may be on Google's servers.
Try logging in/having the user log in to his/her email via Opens a new window and check.
Right, the draft email is not on the web version of Gmail (called Lionmail for us). The only draft emails under his email account are the draft emails created within the email client and after the original migration performed in the original thread.
In the middle of testing and found some interesting results so far. First, a big thanks to David_CSG and Gabrielle.L. After doing some more testing, it appears the draft emails do, in fact, replicate between standard computer-based email clients and the web interface. However, this may not help the professor. Let me explain...
Over the course of the weekend, I created numerous test emails between the web interface on my home computers (Windows-based) and my phone (Android using standard email client). I do not use email clients at home. None of the draft emails from one replicated into the other. This morning, I opened my Outlook email client on my Windows-based computer at work and created a draft email. This draft replicated seamlessly into the web client. Additionally, I created a dummy email profile within Apple Mail on a test Mac Mini and created a draft email within that. Again, the draft replicated within both Outlook and the web client. At this point, from the dozen or so test drafts I created, only the drafts that were created within either the web client or the computer-based email clients replicated across these platforms. None of the drafts created on my phone appear in either platform.
That all being said, the professor only has one instance of Apple Mail (which he uses 100% of the time) and his iPhone. He does not use the web client. I have sent an email to him to see if the rogue draft email is still in the web-based email Drafts folder. If not, I will continue with my testing.
After thinking about this some more, I may not even need Time Machine. Since I was able to successfully replicate draft emails between various computer-based email clients and the web-based email, it is very likely that any recreation of the Apple Mail email profile will automatically pull all emails down from the email server via IMAP. So technically, the email should be sitting in the new Apple Mail email client after I performed the migration in the previous thread. (I believe this is what Gabrielle and David eluded to previously)
Just received word from professor that the specific draft email he is looking for is not within the web-based version of our email system. That being said, I wiped and reinstalled Mavericks on my test system. The draft emails I created ARE in the newly created Apple Mail account.
I just deleted one of test draft emails from the newly created Apple Mail email profile. I am going to see if I can access just that one specific draft email from Time Machine (or Migration Assistant) without having to rebuild the entire user profile.
After performing a full Time Machine recovery, I logged into the user profile and opened Mail. I could see the previously deleted draft email; however, I could not access it. Mail opened a prompt window advising me that, because of updates to Mail, I had to "import" my current emails into the new version of Mail (I may do it again to get the exact verbiage). I was provided with two options. If I click Cancel, the Mail window closes. If I click Continue, Mail "imports" the previous email into the new Mail profile. Once the process completes, I am only left with the exact emails that are in my current email profile (without the previously deleted draft).
