Content Download Manager Dialog

Digita Accounts Production Advanced uses your internet connectivity to compare your existing templates with the latest versions held on line. The Content Download Manager dialog displays a list of those templates which have been superseded, shows the changes in the newer versions and enables you to update as desired. You are also shown templates permitted under your licence which you are currently not utilising and the dialog enables you to install these if needed. Digita Accounts Production Advanced will show a message box to the bottom of your screen if newer template versions are detected at login, clicking on this box will open the Content Download Manager dialog. The dialog can also be opened by selecting Tools | Content Downloads from the main menu.

Templates can still be added and updated manually via Check in Data option if preferred but the Content Download Manager dialog offers a more efficient all round solution to updating your content.

In addition to the on-screen advice, you should note the following:

Select the content you wish to install
The Description column indicates whether the content is Not installed, but licensed or if there is a New version available. You can view the changes for new versions by clicking on the New version available link.
Use the tick box next to the template to select the individual items you wish to install.
Alternatively, use the Selection button options:
  • Add all items to install list, clicking ticks all the templates in the list and changes the Status to Selected for install.
  • Clear install list, clicking deselects all the templates and changes the Status to Installable
  • Add selected items to ignore list, clicking changes the Status of any selected items to Marked as ignored by user. This status can be reversed by re-selecting the template. If an item is added to the ignore list it will just be for the particular version shown, any future versions of the template will still be notified.
Install: Click once you have decided which templates to include. Only items with a status of Selected for install will be added.
Upgrade and Publish Template Entities: This is ticked by default and ensures that your templates are upgraded and published automatically when you click on Install.

If you just want to get the latest versions but don't yet want to upgrade and publish then un-tick this box. The new template can still be manually updated and published via the Template Manager dialog at a later stage.
