Synchronizing The Mobile Application
Android App
Automatic Synchronization Schedule
The Android application works offline. Synchronization is initialized
either manually whenever needed, or automatically by the chosen time
period. By default, your mobile app automatically sends and receives new
data every 15 minutes. You can change this time period in the settings
of the app by going to Admin → Settings → Auto Sync Schedule → selecting an option that suits your needs best. You can turn off auto-sync and, instead, do this manually each time.
To manually sync your device, you can either:
- Go to Admin → Synchronize → tap Sync button
- Tap Options button at the top-right corner of the screen and tap Sync
If you have connected HandiFox Online to QuickBooks Online, the exchange of data between both platforms starts when a mobile device initiates synchronization. To make the synchronization of the device faster, you can uncheck "Force data loading from QuickBooks" on the Synchronization screen in the mobile app.
iOS App
The iOS application works online. If your device is not connected to
the Internet, the data will automatically load once the Internet
connection appears again.
During the initial synchronization, your iOS application will download
all of the available data for up to one year. If you have chosen a
smaller period of time during initial synchronization and you want to
download older data, go to the More tab → Sync Period → select 1/3/6/12 months → tap Sync.
If your iOS application doesn't show the current data, simply swipe down to update it.
