CRG Problem???

I have set up a Managed CRG with 46 images and Multiple Clients.  I noticed that in the Client Respose>FeedBack section of Backlight One client's (Client A )comment was duplicated on the same picture for another client (client B).  And, another comment from client A was missing from the feedback section of backlight but present in the email. 
I found this when I was comparing the information in backlight to the info contained in the emails that that were sent after "submitting".   
Comments Please!
Note :  If the images in question were my images. I would share the site and log in info on the forum.  As the images in question are not mine to share, I would prefer to share specific site and log in via email.

Thanks

Kevin

edit :      I noticed also on another client,  there is a small difference between the report in Backlight>Feedback and the email that was sent out.

Re: CRG Problem???

Have you created separate logins for each client, or are they sharing one?

Re: CRG Problem???

Can you please send Backlight admin credentials via email? Also, direct links to relevant albums.

Re: CRG Problem???

So, The latest observation is;
I have had two "clients" submit their feed back, without email notification and without the CRG gallery being closed.
The feedback in these cases were just "selections", there were no comments, or the images were not rated.
Thanks
Kevin

Re: CRG Problem???

Hi Kevin,

I haven't gotten a chance to look at the info you sent yet. Sorry about the delay, but I got busy today responding to the new Lightroom announcements from Adobe. I'll make a point to looking into this for you tomorrow (it's after 1 a.m. here as I write this).

Re: CRG Problem???

Thanks Matt    It is not a really big deal for me at this stage.  I mostly wanted to pass this behaviour along to you as feed back!

Re: CRG Problem???

So, it seems that the "Heart Selection" is visable in the Client Response>Feedback section of Backlight right away, submition is not required.   Look at FeedBack number #000017....    This was not "sumbited" from the site!   As well "Options" is list but not reported.
Again Matt, not really an issue with me, just some observations.

Re: CRG Problem???

If you're using the Managed option, then any feedback is saved in the database, even if it hasn't been submitted yet. This allows for clients to make their selections over multiple sessions, having their work saved, before submitting feedback.

Re: CRG Problem???

Yes, I understand that Rod.  It just that the only the Selections are being reported back without having to be "submited" from the site!
Comments, Star Rateings and options are only reported back after "Submiting".
Thanks for your comments though.

Re: CRG Problem???

Hi Kevin,

I've looked at this. I first logged into your admin and created myself a client account, assigned the album. I then logged in as that client, dropped some hearts, and added some feedback.

My selects were immediately visible in the feedback area, with the feedback status being "open". At this point, my other feedback -- ratings, options, comments -- were not visible.

I then returned to the gallery and submitted my information, which sets the feedback to "closed" status. At this point, all feedback -- selects, ratings, options and comments -- were reflected in the feedback record in Backlight's admin. I also received an email with identical feedback.

From these observations, all appears to be working as intended, and I see no anomalous behavior.

In your original post, you said you were seeing duplicate feedback between clients. Can you tell me which clients have this in their profile? If you'd rather not post their names here, feel free to follow up via email.

Re: CRG Problem???

Hi Matt,

I see that you have created the client account and tested as I described....  I did recieve the feed back email as designed.
All is working as it should!

I had copied and pasted the feed back emails on to the bottom of the email that I sent that had the backlight log in creds.  I dont have a copy of that email because I had sent it through one of your contact forms.  There is no way to "cc" another email address from a contact form.... is there? I went back and looked at the feed back in Backlight, there was no duplication.  I must thave been either on crack, having a senile moment, or imaging things, or all of the above.  I was under the impression that the offending feedback numbers were #10 and #12.  Any supporting evidence  that I have would be in the email that had the backlight creds.
I was a little surprized that the selects were showing up in the in the feedback area without submitting.... this is actually a great feature.

Thankyou Matt, for taking the time to investigate.  I am sorry if I wasted your time. I did learn something though!

Thanks,

Kevin
