This section describes the dialogs that are available from various parts of the product. These include:
A.4.1 Oracle IRM Privacy Policy Dialog
This dialog will be displayed when you attempt to connect to an Oracle IRM Server for the first time.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Link | This may link to the privacy policy that applies to the use of the sealed document that is about to be opened. The policy and its accessibility from this link is controlled by the owner of the Oracle IRM Server instance. |
| I have read... (checkbox) | Initially unchecked. Check if you agree with the statement. If you do not agree, you will not be able to see the sealed document. To proceed, you must check the box even if the server owner has not provided a privacy policy. |
| Accept (button) | This becomes available if the "I have read..." box is checked. Select to open the sealed document. |
A.4.2 Select Context Dialog
For tasks that involve sealing or resealing documents, you will be prompted to select a context for that operation. In all cases, you will see the same context selection dialog.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Context Selection information area and list box | Lists the contexts that you have the right to seal or reseal to. Usually provides a description of each context to help you choose the right one for the document or email you are currently sealing.
If the list is blank and you are trying to create a new sealed document, you must first connect to a server that holds context definitions that you have been given permissions to use. The easiest way to set up such a connection is to open a document that has been created by someone else and sealed to the same server and context to which you want to seal your new document. If this is not possible, you can connect to a server through the Servers tab on the Oracle IRM Desktop Options dialog. Do do this, you will need to know the URL of the server that you want to connect to. This will be in the following form:
You can obtain the exact URL from the administrator of the server. |
| Refresh Contexts (button) | Use to update the list of contexts, if you think it is incomplete. The list can be incomplete if your rights have changed recently such that your local cache is out of date. |
A.4.3 Change Item Code Dialog
This dialog will be displayed if you try to save a sealed document with an out of date item code and you have the right to update the item code (Set Item Code right). This may happen when you rename a sealed document, then edit it and save it.

| Update Item Code (checkbox) | Normally unchecked. Check if you want to update the out of date item code. |

Click Which Computer to identify the other computer.
