Sync Issues
Sync issues occur when changes made on the mobile app are not appearing in the office view, or vice versa. Most sync issues are caused by connectivity problems and resolve on their own.
Check the Sync Indicator First
Open the mobile app and look at the sync status icon in the top corner:
| Indicator | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Green checkmark | Synced | No action needed |
| Spinning | Syncing in progress | Wait for it to complete |
| Orange | Offline — changes queued | Wait for signal to return |
| Red | Sync error | Follow steps below |
If Sync Is Stuck (Spinning for More Than 5 Minutes)
- Check your device's internet connection (open a browser, try loading a page)
- If you have connectivity, close the app completely and reopen it
- Pull down on the Today screen to force a manual sync
- If still spinning, note what actions you took and contact support
If Sync Shows a Red Error
A red error means the app tried to sync and received an error response.
Common causes:
- The server is temporarily unreachable (wait a few minutes and retry)
- A specific action failed validation (contact support with the error message)
- Your session expired (log out and back in)
To get the error details:
- Tap the red indicator
- Read the error message displayed
- Share it with support if you cannot resolve it
If Office View Isn't Updating
If a technician completed stops and the office still shows them as pending:
- Ask the technician to check their sync indicator
- If the technician shows green, refresh the dispatch board in the browser (press F5 or pull to refresh on mobile)
- If the technician shows orange/red, the data hasn't been sent yet — wait for sync or follow the steps above
Data Never Recoverable
In rare cases, if a device is permanently destroyed (lost, broken) with unsynced data, that data may not be recoverable. This is why keeping the sync queue clear at the end of each day is important.
Warning
Do not uninstall or wipe the app if you have a red sync error with pending data. Contact support first. Wiping the app deletes the local queue permanently.
