8. Backup
It is important that the commissioning tablet is Uploaded to the cloud for several reasons:
Unless the Project is uploaded to the cloud, no information will be available on the internet Dashboard.
Unless the Project is uploaded to the cloud, the ACCESS POINTs (if installed) will not be able to upload information to the Cloud.
If the project is uploaded to the Cloud then it will be available for other authorised tablet users to download and potentially take control of.
If you lose or break your tablet, having a backup in the Cloud will allow you to restore the project onto a new tablet.
Step by step instructions
Ensure the tablet is connected to a stable internet connection.
Select the blue Wi-Fi symbol then the Backup box will appear.
Click the Upload button to create a backup.
If you have more than one user working on a tablet when you enter this tab you might be faced with a choice:
Download - take the last updated version from cloud - you will loose the changes made on your tablet
Upload - update the last version to cloud - you will loose the changes made by different user
Merge - download the Site Data from the cloud and compare between itself and the local tablet Site data, adding any new changes made by the tablet. If you created new drawings, added new devices on both tablets the program will keep both additions
Difference between Singl-User and Multi-User Conflict
Singl-User site
How could a conflict occur?
When a site is selected as a Single-User project through the Dashboard, anyone who has access to that Site ID (whether you are Master or not), can make changes (but only the Master can upload to the server).
In this as, a Conflict Resolve occurs when the non-Master user is editing a site that is older than the last upload date.
For example, tablet A uploads their data on Monday, tablet B then wants to make changes on Tuesday, but already had the project downloaded onto the tablet from a previous visit, but hasn’t re-downloaded from the server. Tablet B will display a Conflict Resolve.
Single-User requires the user to manually download the site when the tablet is connected to the internet.
Multi-User site
How could a conflict occur?
When a site is selected as a multi-user project through the Dashboard, anyone who has access to the Site ID on their tablet and is not the Master can’t make any edits to the site (Read Only).
When the non-master tablets are connected to the internet, any changes made to a Multi-User site is automatically downloaded to the tablets. Therefore, as long as multi-user tablets have access to the internet, the tablets will always be up to date with any changes made by the Master.
IF the non-master tablets are not connected to the internet, then are still not able to make any changes to the site.
