Syncing Inspection Requests

SmartInspect syncs down the digital form and building locations each time the application is started. The real-time sync status is displayed in the top left corner of the SmartInspect Map. This icon will be Green for a completed sync, or Red for an uncompleted sync. A spinner will appear while the sync is in progress.

When adding information to a SmartInspect building inspection, the application automatically syncs the plan on the device with the copy saved on the CityScape server each time Save is selected, assuming the device is within coverage. If out of coverage, changes are saved locally on the device. In this case, changes can be manually synced up to the server once back in coverage by accessing the Sync Status menu of the Settings menu (top right of the SmartInspect Map). From here, users can view the sync status for each inspection request synced down to the device, as well as the sync status for the building index, the inspection request database, or the inspection reports database. If the sync status is unknown, a Question Mark icon will be displayed. Tapping the appropriate Sync icon will manually sync the selected building, the building index database, the inspection request database, or the inspection report database. Sync All can be selected to sync up all locally saved inspections and sync down the CityScape databases.
Note: The Question Mark icon will change to Green when synced successfully.
