Overview

After you change preview options for a volume, you will end up on the update previews page automatically. Xinet will pre-select the types of previews it thinks need to be rebuilt, based on what preview options you changed, but you can always modify the options for updating the previews before submitting the task. To update the previews in Xinet, please check the process below.

Process

1. On the nativeadmin, navigate to VOLUMES/USERS > System Volumes > update previews.
   
   
2. Select a volume from the dropdown list.
   
   
   
   
3. You will see a page like the following:
   
   
   
   
4. From the For FPO view, choose dropdown, select exactly which previews to rebuild. The available options are the following:
   • All FPOs on the selected volume
   • EPS-format FPOs only
   • Image files without FPOs only
   • Update Location only
     
     
5. Select the options for updating the previews. 

   Note: The options that will appear in your environment will depend on the modules you have licensed.
