Sync¶

You can perform synchronisation using the Sync button in the sidebar of IC-Inspector.

Whenever you are in network range (wifi and/or cellular phone, depending on your tablet model), you can tap the Sync button to trigger synchronisation.

Warning

If multiple users are using IC-Inspector on different iPads but with the same Apple ID (which is not recommended), then you must turn off iCloud synchronisation for IC-Inspector before synchronising your data. Failure to do so may result in data loss.

During synchronisation, the following actions are performed:

Tasks that you have completed are sent to your database server.

Any new tasks (and their associated drawings) assigned to you are sent to your tablet.

Any new unassigned ad hoc tasks in a workpack are sent to your tablet in the case where you have at least one assigned task in the same workpack.

Any tasks no longer assigned to you will be removed from your tablet. Note that if any of these tasks are partially completed, that data will be lost.

Between synchronisations, you may operate outside of network range; you need coverage only during synchronisation.

Note

In Demo mode, synchronisation is disabled.
