Enroll in Data Sync Setup

Initial enrollment in Data Sync Setup takes place in Operations Center™ Web. Click on the Setup dropdown menu and select Data Sync to get started. There are four steps to fully complete the set up and begin initial sync.

Learn – In this step, the user will learn about Data Sync Setup and the initial sync process, explaining how data on the display will be compared to data present in Operations Center. This step will assist in building understanding for the user of how individual setup items will be managed as the system works to create one aligned setup list across Operations Center and enabled displays.
Review Setup Data – In this step, the user will be prompted to review all of their setup information that is available and compatible to sync through Data Sync Setup. It is very important to take the time to clean up these lists during this time so that incorrect or outdated information does not sync to all of the enabled displays later on.
Import Options – In this step, the user will establish settings to define if items syncing from the display to Operations Center should be made Available or become Archived. Any items that are archived will not sync to the other enabled displays until they are manually made available by the user. These import options can be changed at any time by accessing Data Sync or Organization Preferences.
Enable – In this step, the user will select which compatible displays they would like to enroll to begin syncing following the preferences established in the other steps. By accessing Data Sync at a later time, the list of enrolled displays can be edited to add or remove displays from syncing.

Regularly Manage Data Sync Setup

Access Data Sync to continue management of automatic syncing. Review the list of enrolled displays, ensuring that software is up to date and adjusting the list to add or remove any displays as needed. Look through the items that are syncing to understand any potential for data cleanup in order to get the most out of this tool. Adjust import options to appropriately make setup data available or archived as it syncs into Operations Center and out to the enabled fleet. Check to see if additional setup information has become compatible to sync through Data Sync Setup and opt-in to begin syncing (example: Implements).

Gain access to setup data on desired displays without spending time manually creating and sending files between Operations Center and the fleet. Feel confident that the setup information present will enable operators to select from a provided list, alleviating the need for manual entry and potential errors.

Leverage Displays to Verify Sync Status

Use the Status Center on the display to enable sync to Operations Center after initial enrollment has been completed and review sync status. This provides a quick confirmation that data is syncing. Leverage File Manager for additional details, outlining last sync time and when individual entity types were received. Build confidence by reviewing the Transaction Log to see a further breakdown of sync status at the individual setup item level. These screens help ensure Data Sync Setup is working as desired and that operators have access to one desired setup list for them to select from with ease, getting to work quicker.

Flexible data management options

In order to further protect setup information, the user can customize import options in Operations Center as well as establish a security PIN through the display. Some operators may not be as familiar with the operation or integrated with the desired setup management process. This can make it challenging to trust in giving control of the one centralized setup list. Both Operations Center and Gen 4/G5 Displays feature operator mistake proofing settings to provide more stability to correctly sync the data list and prevent unwanted changes from happening.

NOTE: In Operations Center - Establishing Import Options to Archive will ensure that any setup information in that category will sync from enrolled displays to Operations Center Archive and can be made available if later determined needed for work. Any data coming from the display, not recognized in Operations Center will be saved as a backup in the ‘Archived’ section. This helps to prevent any duplicates created with associations to similar setup data appearing on machines. This can commonly lead to (~) (1) associated to the listed name in the drop-down selection.

On the display - Users and Access provides a localized lockout by machine from creating, editing, and modifying data. Only administrators through the use of a key code can make data changes.
