Introduction to Sync Schedules
Learn more about sync schedules, the advanced schedule page, and synced project location within Trimble Connect Sync.
What are Sync Schedules?
A sync schedule is a specific time you designate Trimble Connect Sync to start a sync operation. This is useful if you regularly update local or server files and need your project to be kept up to date.
For example, you may want to create a sync schedule for each night, so project files are up to date at the start of your work day. Or, if you have engineers submitting their model revisions at the end of each week, you can schedule a sync operation over the weekend so the project files are up to date at the beginning of the next work week.
- The Sync application starts up automatically once you turn on your computer.
- If your system is turned off during a running sync schedule, the next sync will begin by comparing the previous completed sync operation (after the system is turned on).
Understanding the Advanced Schedule Page
By default, every project has a Full Project Sync schedule. This can be modified or deleted if you have created other schedules. Every project must have at least one sync schedule.
The default Full Project Sync schedule is a manual operation (meaning it will not happen automatically) and is a bi-directional sync operation.
Understanding the Synced Project Location (project data)
Connect Sync stores project data on the user's local machine at - C:\Users\<userID on PC>\Trimble Connect Sync\<UserID on Trimble Connect>\Projects. A folder with the project name is auto created and all content is synced to/from that location.
You can also create a different project folder in a different location and sync the project data to that folder. Project level folder settings supersede the default project folder specified at the application level.
