Sync

There are two types of syncs, Sync and Re-Init (aka Re-Initialize). While they are similar, they perform a bit differently. Its important to remember that the sync runs automatically every 5 minutes. In most cases, Users/Drivers do not need to execute a sync.

Sync - When a sync is ran, only updated or new data is downloaded to the device. The device does this by tracking that last time a sync occurred for the current user (aka driver) and only asking the server for anything that has change since the last sync. There are two ways this sync is executed.

  • Automatically on login and every 5 minutes after login. (info) Sync interval can be configure in Engine settings, 5 minutes is the default
  • Manually, by selecting Menu - Sync

Re-Init - When a Re-Init sync is ran, all existing data is removed from the local database and re-downloaded from the server. If your device has been offline for more than a few days, you should run a re-init sync.

In both syncs, all updates/changes made on the device are sent to Cyan servers.

Out - Stores any data that has not be sent to the server. Normally you will nor see anything in the outbox unless your device is offline or has a poor connection.

Sent - Displays the last 10 transactions that have been sucessfully sent to the server. 

A Transaction is any peice of information that is moving from the device to thr server. This could be a new inspection, a acknowledgement of a verified inspection, etc.
