Synchronization settings

The synchronization setting allows you to set how the field applications automatically upload edits to the back-end database. You can configure the applications to automatically upload edits when the device is connected to the Internet, whenever data changes, or at a regular time interval.

Auto Upload Option	Meaning
Never	Synchronization does not occur automatically when using this option
When Connected/when Cradled	Pushes updates back to server once a connection is established.
When data changes	Pushes updates back as soon as you save the change in a connected environment
Time Interval	Allows for sending uploads back to the server in time increments.

Note:

The synchronization setting is project specific and is only available to the projects which contain operational data from a mobile service or mobile services.
