Select the Default Device Settings tab.
The Default Device Settings workspace appears.
In the Download Horizon box, specify the amount of time before a Route or checkpoint is due that it should be downloaded to a device.
Hint: If you anticipate that devices will be disconnected from a network for extended periods of time, increase the Download Horizon. This will enable users to access the Routes that will become due during the period that the device is disconnected.
In the Sync Interval box, specify the frequency at which the information downloaded to a device should be synchronized with the GE Digital APM database when the device is connected to a network. This results both in data from the device being uploaded to the database and in changes made in Rounds Designer being reflected in Rounds Data Collection.
Hint: You may want to increase the Sync Interval to reduce network traffic when devices are connected to a network. Or, if the mobile devices that will be used are subject to slow connection speeds (e.g., if they use cellphone connections), it may take several minutes to download all the data. In this scenario, we recommend that you increase the Sync Interval, since a Sync Interval as brief as one minute may result in devices attempting to synchronize continuously.
Select Save.
The default values are saved and will be used when a user logs in to Rounds Data Collection for the first time.
If you are a Super User and you want to update the settings for all existing users of Rounds Data Collection, select Update All Devices.
The next time that each existing Rounds Data Collection user logs in to the application, their Device Settings will be updated to the specified default settings.
