Setting Off-Line Preferences

Setting your download preferences

(Agenda View | Tools | Options | Off-line | Download)

Setting a range of files to download

Choose a time period for which you want to download Entries to your off-line Agenda. You can download all Entries from a certain time range, or you can download all your Entries.

Selecting whether to be prompted before downloading

Choose whether you want to download your On-line Agenda to your Off-line Agenda. Choose whether you would like to be prompted before downloading starts. The download would be done when you are quitting Oracle Calendar or choosing to work off-line.

Select one of the following options:

  • Automatically download
  • Prompt before downloading
  • Do not download


Downloading the Agendas of other users

(Agenda View | Tools | Options | Off-line | People/Resources)

Choose which users' and Resources' Agendas you want to download to your off-line Agenda. Each time you download your Agenda, these users' Agendas will also be downloaded, according to the time period you specified in the Download section of your Off-line Preferences.


Downloading the Agendas of Group members

(Agenda View | Tools | Options | Off-line | Groups)

Select which Groups you want downloaded to your off-line Agendas. When you download a Group, you also download the Agendas of all members in that Group, according to the time period you specified in the Download section of your Off-line Preferences.


Reconciling conflicting on-line and off-line Entries

(Agenda View | Tools | Options | Off-line | Reconciliation)

Control the way in which your Agenda reconciles on-line and off-line Entries in this section. For example, if you made changes to an off-line Entry that has also been changed on-line, and then uploaded, your Agenda can either update the on-line Entry or show the Reconciliation dialog box, letting you decide on an Entry-by-Entry basis.

Select Update off-line Agenda after upload to make sure your On-line and Off-line Agendas are identical after each upload.


Setting a location for your off-line files

(Agenda View | Tools | Options | Off-line | Path)

Working off-line allows you to take your Agenda on the road. Book Entries, create Tasks and manage your calendar while disconnected from the server, then upload your changes to your on-line Agenda the next time you connect to your On-line Agenda.

You can keep your off-line files at the default location or specify another location for them by clicking Browse. The Off-line Path dialog will open, allowing you to set another location for your off-line files. Select the Create directory if none exists checkbox if you would like to create the selected path if it does not already exist.
