SureSync Add Ons - SyncLock Status
SyncLockStatus is an Add-on to SureSync's Collaboration Edition
(SureSync with the SPIAgent and SPIAgent File Locking Add-on
licenses) that makes the file locking process more transparent to
end users on your network. This is accomplished through the
installation of a server application that will transmit lock status
information to client machines; an application installed on each
client machine will receive the lock status information. When an
end user attempts to open a file which is locked by another user,
the workstation application will display a pop-up message from the
system tray informing the user that they have been blocked from
accessing the file and informing them of the user that has the file
locked. In addition, the application will also notify the user when
the file has been closed so they can attempt to gain access to a
writable copy of the file.
SyncLockStatus makes the Collaboration Edition of SureSync even
more valuable by eliminating confusion from end users when file
locking is deployed in your environment. Without SyncLockStatus
your end users will see different behaviors depending on the
application installed. For example, the user might not see an error
message but just the text "Read-Only" added to the title bar of a
Word document. This notification, in many cases, is not clear
enough to avoid confusion about why the user is unable to change a
file. Eliminating this confusion represents a significant value add
to your collaboration environment.
