Warning: be careful when leaving the web interface open

David Pritchard shared this problem 6 years ago

This is just a warning.


I use the Zipato rule creator from 2 different computers and several times I've fallen into the following trap: I leave the page open on both computers. I make changes on computer A, then go to computer B, and don't reload. I then make more changes.


This is very bad, because the web interface stores the complete state of all rules as they were the last time that the page was loaded. So unless you reload, computer B will overwrite the changes from computer A with the old copy of the rules it has from before.

Sounds like we have figured out how to make a backup of the rules....leave computer B on as the backup.

Ha!

But you can't predict when it will ask you to login again. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
