You will learn how to plan your synchronization to start automatically after a pre-determined interval.
To start and run your sync on a schedule, you can use the Sync Schedule feature. You can set a date and time for beginning the sync and its frequency.
Note: If you need to run synchronization outside the predefined schedule, you can manually initiate it by clicking the Run Sync button on the app page.
Important:
If you have more than one data sync app (Import, Export, or 2-way sync) consider, it is crucial to configure the Sync Schedule in the following order:
- Import apps (e.x. Skyward, FACTS, Active Directory)
- 2-way sync apps (e.x. Google Classroom, PowerSchool)
- Export applications (e.x. Lightspeed, CrisisGo, FinalSite)
To create the Sync Schedule:
- Under the Home page, select the desired Import or 2-way Sync app.
- Go to the
Settings > Schedule tab.
- Activate the Sync Schedule.
- Set sync frequency and time.
- (Optional) Choose the end date for automatic synchronization. Once this date is reached, data sync will be stopped.
- Click Save.
After the creation of the Sync Scheduler, the date of the next sync displays on the app's detail page.
