2.3.1. PARTadmin Online Update: Login and settings dialog changed

In PARTadmin under category CatalogsUpdateOnline the login procedure and the settings page have been changed.[8]

When you initially log in, the Catalog update Tabbed page is grayed out and "You have not yet logged in for the catalog updates. [You have not yet logged in for the catalog updates.]" appears above the Log in/Switch account [Log in/change account] button.

Login or registration

  1. Click on the Log in/Switch account [Log in/change account] button.

    → The Authenticate user dialog page opens and shows the login dialog.

    If you already have an account, you can now log in.

  2. Otherwise, click on the Register link.

    → The Registration dialog opens.

  3. Fill out the form and click on the Register button.

    → The following display appears:

    "You need to verify your e-mail address"

  4. Confirm the e-mail address in your e-mail account and then click on "Click here to continue".

  5. If you now try to log in, the following message will first appear:

    "The account is blocked or not yet activated."

    As a rule, the account will be activated within the next 24 hours.

  6. You can then register or log in with your e-mail address and password (see above).

Settings

The settings [Settings] dialog page has also been changed.

  • You can log in via the Log in/Switch account [Log in/change account] button (just like on the main page).

  • New: Use incremental updates if possible (activated by default)

  • New: Disk cache under $CADENAS_USER/partupdate_cache, which all images, release notes and parts lists for already downloaded Caches catalogs.

    As the client and server understand the "if-Modified-Since" protocol, this automatically speeds up repeated access, as the cache is not deleted between restarts.

  • The size can be seen on the settings page under Local cache size [Size of the local cache] and the cache can be deleted there using the Delete button if it becomes too large.

  • Cip files are not cached as they are too large in any case.

  • New: Click on the Manage include/exclude lists... button to open the editor of the same name. Select an option from Do not show selected catalogs and Show selected catalogs and activate the desired catalogs.

    → From now on, only the selected catalogs are displayed.
