Manage Edits task

The features that you have collected, updated, or deleted in the field ultimately need to be synchronized back to the server. In addition, it is often critical to be able to refresh features that others have been creating and updating. Using the Manage Edits task, you can both send updates to the server and receive updates that have been posted by others to the server.

The Manage Edits page displays the following status information:

• Total number of features that were created, updated, and deleted on the device since the last time you synchronized
• Date and time that you last synchronized with the server, broken down by posting and receiving requests
• A synchronization log listing all failed posts or "gets" from the server
• Indication of active synchronization that may be in progress on the device

From the Synchronization Settings menu, you can set the Synchronization task to automatically post changes back to the server. Autopost options include the following:

• Never
• When data changes
• At a set time interval
• When cradled/connected
