Synchronize and Update Data
As calculator you can use the database synchronization to update master and dynamic data in your calculation to make sure only the latest data is being used.
By default, cost data remains constant from the time of initial assignment throughout the life of a project to be calculated.
However, variants in cost-relevant data can occur during a project's lifetime. There are two ways of synchronizing data in FACTON: You can either display all variations or select individual categories - i.e. processes or parts - and only display the variations for this selection.
The database synchronization can be carried out for one or for several projects, including multi projects. During multi project synchronization, projects contained in the multi project are opened and synchronized.
The operation synchronizes the variants in the data between a project and Data Administration. Each variant is detected and the user is asked whether or not to update.
The database synchronization operation cannot be undone.
In the User Administration you can determine whether master and dynamic data changes should be automatically displayed when opening a project or not.
