Performing an on-demand sync

The SyncNow option in the Dataset console enables on-demand data synchronization. When a dataset is configured with a sync interval, it runs as a scheduled job. However, if you need to sync data immediately or perform a full table refresh, you can use SyncNow. The on-demand sync functions like a scheduled job and runs as soon as possible.

With SyncNow, you can select the forms to be synced and select one of the following options:

  • Full data sync — Syncs all records from the first to the latest (Record 1 to Record N), ensuring a complete import and export. Selecting this option drops and recreates all the tables in the destination and recreates them.
  • Incremental data sync —Syncs only the records that have changed since the last successful sync, based on the last sync timestamp.

Forms with the AR Change Field ID API run on them require a full data sync.
