Synchronize Data with JMap Server

Once your data has been collected in the field, you must synchronize the data of your device with that of the JMap Server:

1. If you are working offline, when a network connection becomes available, disable Offline Mode in the Account screen. The changes you have made will be automatically synchronized. Note: The project's layer data may have been updated or modified on the JMap server. By touching Refresh layers, JMap Survey will download all of the data once again to make sure it is up-to-date on your device. This option is not required to save the changes you made with JMap Survey, but you should use it from time to time.

   
2. Touch OK to return to the map.

If you log out of JMap Survey before your data has been synchronized, the data you entered in offline mode will be lost. Two confirmations are required before the data is deleted.

Inspecting data awaiting synchronization

The data entered when creating or modifying objects with JMap Survey may contain errors that prevent their correct synchronization with JMap Server data.

Problems related to the configuration of the database that stores the data or to the input forms or even problems connecting to JMap Server can cause errors when sending data to JMap Server. Data that could not be successfully synchronized becomes items awaiting synchronization.

Currently, only Android device users have the Pending Changes Inspector feature to identify problematic items and fix or clear them.

To use this function:

1. Touch to access the Account screen.

   Pending Changes displays the number of items waiting to sync and two buttons: Inspect and Delete.

   Warning: Delete deletes all pending items.
2. Touch Inspect to inspect the items. A screen shows the layers with pending items.
3. Select the layer whose elements you want to inspect. The list of items awaiting synchronization is displayed. You can sort them based on the insertion date.
4. Touch an item in the list. Two options appear: Show and Delete.
5. Touch Show. JMap Survey centers the map on the element, the element tooltip is displayed.

6. Touch to edit the item.
7. Touch Edit Info to edit the attributes that are causing problems with the database, or touch Edit Position to change the object's position on the map.
8. Touch Delete to delete the object. JMap Survey asks you to validate your choice. The selected object is deleted.
9. Touch OK to return to the map.
