Sync product data on login - D-Tools Forum

ChristianB · 11-26-2009, 07:46 AM

I'd like a checkbox in MMPD - Administration - LANsync that says (and does) "Automatically synchronize product data on login". With that feature, I can make sure that all users have the latest prices and product data everytime they log on to D-tools.

Are you asking for a feature that will not just popup a window each time asking to sync? So that the user does not have a choice?

Yes.

I guess that there is a viable reason to be able to do this. I can see a need for standard users so that as the D-Tools Data Administrator you can make sure that everyone is on the same data. I personally like to have the option since I might not be finished with some data and it is not ready to be "pushed" to others.

I would agree that it would be nice if there was a promt when SI5.5 is launched to sync the database, not just when MMPD is launched.

I would love this feature. Running SI 5.5 and there isn't a prompt to sync at log in either. Very foolish to take this out as it was in every SI4 version. I have users who do not ever think to sync and therefore don't for months.

This feature is under development and will be available for the next service pack release.

Thanks,

Sp2 has the feature to sync product data on startup. In the Navigator File menu there is a checkable menu called "Sync product data on startup". Checking this will sync product data every time you start Navigator and if you are Online.
