Exclusive Reviews

An exclusive review is when a specific asset can be sent to one or many recipients for review. When one user takes the review session, only that user can review that asset, unless they are released from the session.

If that user completes the review, the review will simply complete and it will be removed from the list.

Configuring an exclusive review

  1. Identify the asset you wish to send for review in Dalet Flex Console.
  2. Click the Start Session button above the asset.
  3. From the Action drop down and select a specific Start Session action that you have created.
  4. Tick the Make Review Exclusive? checkbox.
  5. Enter the details for the review session, such as the user(s) who will have access to the review session.
  6. Click Run Now.
  7. The review session will be created and sent to the respective recipients.

Releasing and Taking an Exclusive Review

You can see any active exclusive review sessions that you have the permission to see.

Review sessions can be in the following states:

  • In Progress: This is a review that has been shared with you, but another user has currently taken.
  • My Review: This is a review session that you have personally taken.
  • Available Review Session: This is a review session where no individual has taken the exclusive review.
  • Non-Exclusive Review Session: This is a review session that can be taken by multiple reviewers at any given time

Taking a Review Session

  2. In the Review Summary panel, click Review.

  3. The Review session opens and you can start reviewing the asset.

When a review session has been taken by a user, the review is blocked to all other users, meaning this will be presented in a read-only mode to the remaining users. The following message is displayed to the review owner:

When a review session has been taken by another user, the icon on the right-hand side changes to red .

Method 1

In the review session, click the Release button, located in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
