Sync Machines Window

If a truck driver only uses push syncs, Fusion Server will get the truck's data, but the truck will not be aware of anything new including pen movements. If your trucks typically only use push syncs and you need to get them to do a full sync, you can use this window to make that happen.

In past versions of Fusion a full sync took much longer than a push sync which is why the choice was given. This is seldom the case any more—both kinds of syncing are usually very fast—so we usually recommend only using full syncs. If you do that, this window will not be necessary.

List of Sync Machines

  • Last Location. Choose a location here. Only trucks from this location will be shown in the list. This is based on the location the truck was last used for. To show all locations, choose All Locations.
  • Status. If a truck has not synced for more than a week, it will be considered non-current. Use this field to only show Current, Non-Current, or All trucks in the list.
  • Refresh. Click this button to update the list contents.

The list shows helpful information about each truck including the time of the last sync and the type of sync it was. The purple columns show whether a sync request is pending or not.

Sync Requests

To send a sync request to one or more computers, first select them in the list. You can use the Select All and Select None buttons to select all trucks or de-select all trucks if you are on a touch screen. Then click the Change Sync Request button and choose from one of the following options:

  • No Action. If you previously made a sync request which hasn't been fulfilled yet and you have changed your mind, use this option to clear the request.
  • Full Sync. Choose this option if you want to request that the truck does a full sync. You will be given a change to enter a message if you like. The next time the truck syncs, the user will be shown a the message and let the truck driver know you have requested that he perform a full sync. He will have the option of doing so or ignoring the request.
  • Force Full Sync. This option behaves the same was as the Full Sync option except that the truck driver will have to perform the full sync. The only other choice will be to quit Fusion Truck.

Once a request has been sent to a truck, it will be cleared from this list so it isn't sent again.
