Sync Your Device and the TMS Data

The Sync feature allows you to download new and updated records to your device. Likewise, when you create and update records in TMS Sidekick, you will use the Sync feature to upload your changes to the TMS database.

When you use TMS Sidekick for the first time, you need to synchronize your device with the TMS database.

To sync your device, follow these steps:

1. On the Home screen of TMS Sidekick, select Sync.

2. On the Sync screen, select Sync.

How Does the Sync Feature Handle Your Data?

TMS Sidekick treats the data in different ways, depending on these scenarios:

• If a user saves a new record on the iOS device, the new record is added to the local data store. When the user syncs the iOS device, the new record is added to the TMS database.

• If a user edits a record on the iOS device, the modified record is updated in the local data store. When the user syncs the iOS device, the modified record is updated in the TMS database.

• If a user creates a new record in TMS application, the new record is added to the TMS database. When the user logs into TMS Sidekick and syncs the device with the TMS database, the new record is transferred from TMS database to device.

• If a user edits a record in TMS application, the modified record is updated in TMS database. When the user logs into TMS Sidekick and syncs the device with the TMS database, the modified record is transferred from the TMS database to the iOS device and updated.
