Selective Syncing

Tim Ferguson

Right now, when a user syncs on mobile, they will have to wait for records or changes in other apps to sync as well. It would be nice if there was a way that an Owner or Manager could set an app up to only sync changes made to that specific app when the user is in the field. This would save time in the field especially for larger customers who are collecting large amounts of data across multiple apps.

I would like to be able to choose what syncs to mobile devices. For example, syncing only choice lists but not data records. Or choose only 1 record to sync from the mobile device, etc.

Instead of syncing data across all apps a user has access to, they can select specific apps that they want to sync. This way, if other users with access to the same apps have synced a large number of records, there won't be a delay.

It would be great to "sync all" or "sync favorites only" or "sync this app only".

Hello Tim, I'll share a work-around I use for a similar issue. I would have the situation where I'd be working in the field on an inventory and after creating dozens of new records with a couple pictures for each record I would realize I need to make a change to the app it's self. But I was in the field and not on Wi-Fi. I didn't have time or want to waste the data on syncing all of the pictures. So I changed the sync settings where it would only sync the data while using data. And then only sync pictures when on connected to Wi-Fi. This was a game changer for me. Hopefully this helps.
