Editing an Existing Critique in Outlook

Because you have already submitted a critique, this is an edit of an existing critique. (Note: You have just come from step 5 in Using the Find Library Title Dialog Box.)

To edit a critique in Outlook

  1. The objectId from the critique record is retrieved and is used to identify the critique in the LitCrit public folder. The critique is retrieved from the LitCrit public folder.
  2. The Outlook critique form displays your previously submitted critique. Critique text, critique title, and evaluation fields are available for edit. Reselect ratings: Only the overall rating is required; selecting ratings in the other three categories is optional. Edit critique title and critique text.
  3. Click Post.
  4. Mandatory data is validated: An overall rating must be selected, the item title must be present, and the critique title cannot be blank (although it can contain the default item title). You are prompted to provide missing information. Step 11 in Adding a Critique from the CML topic describes the data validation alerts. Data validation is performed on the client by the Outlook form. (Although this data validation was not originally required by the F & M book club, club members have tolerated it since the LitCrit application was connected to the CML application.)
  5. There is a field on the critique form that specifies whether this critique must be approved by a library administrator. This field is now examined. If no approval is necessary, go to step 6. If approval is required, go to Approving or Rejecting a Critique.
  6. The critique is posted to the LitCrit public folder and the submittal process is complete.
