I have a questions about what settings the LanSync operations update on the client computers. It seems like some settings that I have set personally often change and I suspect that LanSync has something to do with it. So my question is, for the following, Which of these does LanSync push to the clients:

Reports:
Stencils:
Zones:
Locations:
Snippets:


anything other helpful morsels that can make my life easier so I don't have to go around and import settings on every workstation???

Thanks

LANSync basically classifies tables in two ways - "Regular" tables and "Setup" tables.

"Regular" tables sync two way - i..e any user with LANSync permission can change them and they will sync to all other users.

"Setup" tables (also called Project Defaults) can be changed and uploaded by a LANSync Admin only. Once the LANSync Admin uploads this data it is copied to all other users on next sync.

These tables are the Setup Tables (also called Project Defaults): -
Company logo
Company Address Information, Tax Rates and Factors
Company Name
Default Wire Length
International Settings
Canada Tax Settings
Phases
Project Location Types
Project Locations
Project Zones
Wire HeadEnds
Project Statuses
Product Custom Property Names
I/O Labels
I/O Signals
I/O Terminals
Saved I/O Configurations
Project Contract Percentages
Project Custom Properties
Component ID Format
Project Number Format
Project Staff Types
Project Staffs
Project Scope Of Work (Snipets)
Manufacturer, Category, Model and Description Case Settings
Product Price Types
Zone Name
Data Exceptions


The "Regular" tables are: -
1. Products (with Accessories)
2. Packages
3. Categories
4. Phases
5. Manufacturers


To answer your question: -
Project defaults ae copied to server when a LANSync Admin either does a: -

1. "Copy Up To Server" (this copies full local database to server)

2. or "Copy Project Defaults" (this copies all "Setup" or "Project Default" tables to server)

Once project defaults are uploaded to server they will be copied to all users when they sync.

Let us take an example -
1. LanSync Admin changes a Location List or Zone List
2. LanSync uses MMPD and does a "Copy Project Defaults" - this will copy all location and zone lists to server database
3. Other users sync and get the latest location and zone lists

For custom stencils LANSync Admin has to copy them to the \\Products Shared Folder\Visualizations\Stencils folder (In Products shared folder on server copy them to a Visualizations\Stencils folder). Users on next sync will see this custom stencil to download to local machine.
