Learn about data transfer

Use Transfer to sync data between the mobile device and the Server.

Data can be synced from the following screens:

• Dashboard

• Procedures

• Procedures On Demand

• Work Order Requests

• Virtual Logs

Data can be synced in many ways – Wi-Fi Sync and other sync mechanisms.

Wi-Fi Sync

Wi-Fi sync is data transfer over a wireless connection through WLAN. By default, data is transferred through Wi-Fi sync. When data is transferred through Wi-Fi sync, the title of the progress bar is set as TRANSFERRING.

Other Sync Mechanisms

Other sync mechanisms include Ethernet through a Docking Station.

Note:
- When data is being transferred, if the free memory goes below the threshold set by the operating platform, then the background apps may get closed to provide memory for the foreground app.
- If the license acquisition fails during the data transfer, then an error message appears and the data transfer fails. The license acquisition failure might happen because of several reasons such as license service not reachable, license unavailable, network connectivity issue, and so on.
