Jennifer Sneider Updated by Jennifer Sneider

To access and customize the settings of your SyncOnSet app:

  1. Tap the Home icon on the bottom navigation bar.
  2. Tap the Gear icon on the top right to access Settings.

Switch Productions

You can access all your productions on the mobile app.

To switch productions
  1. Tap the Home icon on the bottom navigation bar.
  2. Tap the Gear icon on the top right.
  3. Tap Switch Productions.
  4. Tap the production title.
    1. If you are working on a traditional episodic, select your episode(s) to view then tap View Scenes.

Choose Departments

If you have access to multiple departments of your production, you can view them simultaneously in the mobile app. With multiple departments selected, you can see continuity information for all chosen departments.

To select multiple departments
  1. Tap the Home icon.
  2. Tap the Gear icon.
  3. Tap Choose Departments.
  4. Tap the boxes in line with the departments you want to view. A checked box indicates the department will be selected. An empty box indicates the department will not be selected.

Work Offline

If you are in an area with poor cell reception or no Wi-Fi, you might want to work offline to conserve battery. 

Warning: If you choose to work offline, the app will not sync unless you sync manually. Changes made by your team will not sync down to your app, and changes made by you will not sync up to your team until you sync manually. 

If you and your teammates are working on the same piece of data, the system keeps the most recently synced user's information. This is especially important to be aware of if you are working offline and syncing manually.

Example: User A adds Scene Wear Notes at 10:30am but does not sync. User B adds Scene Wear Notes for the same Character/Scene/Change at 11am and syncs, uploading their data to the server. When User A syncs at 11:30am, their notes overwrite User B's notes.
To work offline
  1. Tap the Home icon.
  2. Tap the Gear icon.
  3. Tap Work Offline.
  4. Tap to check the box to enable work offline mode.

To manually sync, tap the yellow Sync icon that appears at the bottom of most pages or Sync Now on the Syncing Status page.

Pro Tip: When working offline, we recommend manually syncing at least twice a day. We do not recommend working offline for more than 24 hours, if possible.

Photo Syncing

When uploading photos, the app automatically compresses the photos to save storage on your device. If you prefer to use full-size images, enable the full-size image setting.
