ROES Client User's Guide: Order Completion

The Order Completion wizard is a sequential set of steps to guide a photographer through completing an order and uploading it directly or saving it to media to be delivered physically.

Step 1

The first step is to select the manner of delivery:

Send now via the Internet will upload the order file directly to Natural Color Lab's servers for processing.

Save for sending later via the Internet will queue the file to be uploaded later. To see and upload the queued orders, use the "Show Queued Orders..." from the main window's "Open & Save" menu.

The top area of the Queue Window shows the orders queued for sending. Select one or more of these and hit "Send" to start doing so. To remove them from the queue, click the "Remove" button. Note that this does not delete the order, it simply moves them out of the queue to the order history area.

The order history area shows past orders. These orders are kept in the preference folder for the length of time specified in the "Days to backup orders" preference.

Save to disk for alternate delivery simply saves the order file to a location specified by the user, so it can be burned to CD or DVD for some other delivery method. Orders which are saved to an alternate location aren't kept in the order history area.

Step 2

The next step is carried out by the application, which is performing the order delivery method selected in Step 1. The order is first compressed and encrypted for ease of handling and security.

If the selected delivery method is to send immediately, then the application communicates with Natural Color Lab servers and begins transfer.

If the transfer is cancelled, the order file is moved to the queued folder for sending later.

The order is complete! Other orders can be created or changed, or the application can be safely quit.
