FAQ

  1. What is DLRoundup?
    Let's say you've downloaded some PDF files. You either saved them all together in a single folder, or in different folders. With DLRoundup, at your convenience, those newly downloaded PDF files can be automatically found and cataloged. Then, they can be looked up and launched in DLRoundup. They can also be cross-indexed by adding additional information such as the creator, publisher, merchant, genre, rights, warranty expiry and more. The result is a permanent library of your downloaded PDF files, without you having to remember where they are and then cataloging them one at a time.
  2. What are some of DLRoundup's strengths? 
    • highly automated
    • can cross-index, so things can be looked up in multiple ways
    • allows notes, and a timestamped log of events, to be entered for individual items
    • allows you to embed special information directly into a downloaded filename, at download time, while the information is fresh in your mind; then it will be automatically entered in the catalog (see Entering Information at Download Time)
  3. Can files still be moved after DLRoundup has cataloged them?
    Yes. DLRoundup includes easy instructions for tracking a file's new location (see Moving Cataloged Files in the documentation). As long as files are moved per DLRoundup's instructions, their new locations are automatically updated in DLRoundup.
  4. How can I lookup files based on when their content was created, so I can focus on newer material, for instance, and avoid wasting time looking through older material?
    Sort the Content Date year and month on the Master Library screen.
  5. Can I update multiple files all at once, say, for instance, if I want to add the same creator to several files?
    Yes. On the Master Library screen, check the checkbox at the left of each row you want to update. Then click the [Change/Delete Row(s)] button at the bottom of the checkboxes and follow through with your update.
  6. What does the [Autosize] button do?
    The [Autosize] button expands or shrinks the columns on the Master Library screen to fit the largest visible data. Clicking the button again (after Autosizing, its name changes to [ResetSize]) will return the columns to their original widths.
  7. How do Campaigns work?
    Click the [Campaigns] button, then click the [Content Pool] button and position the Content Pool screen to the right of the Campaigns screen. Add a campaign to the Campaigns screen. Then, drag and drop Products/Services from the Content Pool screen to the Campaign screen's Content list.
  8. Can I backup DLRoundup?
    Yes. The 'File' option on DLRoundup's main screen has a Backup option and a Restore option.
