Android File Synchronization Schedules |
The file synchronization schedule specifies when the Deployment Server(s) should check device(s) for synchronization.
If the Deployment Server identifies an inconsistency, such as a mismatch in the file size or finds the new file, the Deployment Server will act according to the file sync rule.
By default, the device synchronization schedule, specified by the add devices rule used to add the devices to the system, is selected for file synchronization. You may add, edit or delete the custom schedule using the following dialog box.
