2.3 SessionDefinition Dialog

After you have connected to the server (Connect to Xeclip-Server) you can choose a user for the pairing session. There are three possibilities to open the SessionDefinitionDialog:

1. Choose a user in the UserView (UserView) and right-click. Choose "Invite as navigator to session". The SessionDefinition dialog will appear.
2. Choose from the menu: Xeclip > New session. The SessionDefinition dialog will appear.
3. Choose a user at the Session Wizard Result Dialog (SessionWizard). After the dialog gets open you can choose a xp-partner from the combo box. After pressing the OK button the SessionDefinitionDialog will appear.

  • In the Session Name field, type a name as the name of your new pair programming session
  • In the Session Description field, type a brief description for the task of the new session
  • Select the project from the combo box Please select project which you want to use for your session.
  • Depending on which method you have chosen (1., 2. or 3.) to open the dialog, you have to select a user from the Please select User combo box. In the first and third case the user will appear in the combo box field, otherwise you have to select it by yourself.
  • Check the first check box, if you want to allow visitors to join the session without confirmation by the driver.
  • Check the second check box, if you want to record the session.
    Attention: Do not use this function if you have a internet connection witch low upstream speed on driver side or the navigator has a internet connection with low downstream speed. The whole project data of the session will be transferred to the server and from server to navigator. So it can take much more time to setup the session.
