Work Manager 6.4 Auto Sync

[former_member324784]

Experts,

Scenario is to auto-sync app at start of work shift. As soon as user enters login and password at the start of day, Work Manager app should sync. Is this achievable?

Thanks,

Alok.

Yes, you can configure your application to always connect to the server on login. In the Editor go to Application Security > User Settings > Login and check the Always connect to the server from login dialog option. Save, publish and test! This of course does require that you always have connectivity.

Thanks Bill.

We have already checked this option. But this will sync the device only when you move let's say from offline to online. As i understand, this will trigger a login event and will pick up "always connect to server from login dialog option". However, let's say, user has not logged out , in that case sync will not happen at start of the day. We want to ensure auto sync happens at the start of day irrespective of login.

I think that if your idle time out for the user is not too long, you will force the user to login by the start of the day and this should trigger the auto-synch with Bill's setting enabled.

Hello Marcal,

We have tried that, but we noticed that idle time out doesn't disconnect you completely from server and hence does not trigger a login based sync event.
