Sync

Purpose of Systems2win Sync

Easily synchronize your personalized templates :

  • from your master S2winPortal folder (perhaps on a shared drive)
  • to the default User Templates folder on each user's PC
    so they have your personalized templates even when they are on an airplane or don't have access to your company network or intranet.

One-time set up

Follow the instructions for sync setup

Synchronize at any time

Systems2win menu > Setup and Upgrade > Sync local templates with masters in our S2winPortal.   

Tip: You can sync at any time - without waiting for AutoSync.

Automatically sync your local templates (every 14 days)

To turn AutoSync on - simply manually synchronize your templates once (as described above).

Whenever you open a Systems2win template when more than 14 days have passed since your last successful sync, it will attempt to automatically synchronize the templates in your local PC with the master templates in your company's Systems2win portal.

Tech Tips:

  • AutoSync will fail silently if your S2winPortal is not found.
  • You can see your last successful sync date at Systems2win menu > About Systems2win Templates
  • AutoSync gets reset whenever you complete a successful manual sync.
  • Prior to November 2009, it synced every 7 days, and did not give the option to skip it.

No Sync

One of the set up options is to disable synchronization.
