Exposing and using hot folders on computers without Proofer Client

Creating a Windows shortcut to expose a proofer hot folder

You can submit files to Kodak Proofing Software from any computer in the same network, even if Proofer Client software is not installed.

Requirements:

• Hot folder created in Kodak Proofing Software on the proofer controller workstation
• Network access to the proofer controller workstation

1. At the client workstation, use your preferred method to go to \\ControllerName (or \\IP_address). 
   The controller name must be exactly as listed in Proofer Finder. In some cases, you may need to include the domain name proofers.
   Note: The User Name and Password are both proofer.
2. In the HotFolders directory, locate the desired hot folder.
3. Use your preferred method to create a shortcut for this hot folder and place it in a convenient location. For example, right-click the hot folder, and select Send to > Desktop (create shortcut). 

Dragging files onto this shortcut processes the files and submits them to the proofer according to the hot folder settings.
