Normal Operation

When the Axsy Mobile App is online you will occasionally see a sync activity icon located in the top right of your mobile app screen whenever the app is online and syncing with Salesforce.


Figure 1 - Sync Activity Icon



The presence of the sync activity icon is to ensure you aware that the app is performing sync activity in the background. To see the sync activity taking place, tap on the icon and you will be taken to the Synchronise page where you will see the activity in progress.

If you have been working offline and have a lot of data to sync to Salesforce, then you should expect to see the sync activity icon displayed continuously for some time.


IMPORTANT: 

  1. It is important that you wait for the sync activity icon to disappear to allow all the data stored on your mobile device to sync to Salesforce.
  2. You must not logout if you have content still to be synced – if you do then this content will be lost and will not be synced to Salesforce after you log back in.



Error Indicator

If you see a red icon in the top right of your mobile app screen then this indicates that an error has occurred when syncing to Salesforce.

Errors shown in Pending Changes Queue are logged in the Axsy Event Console where the root cause can be identified and resolved by system administrators. The root cause may be due to an error generated on the Salesforce Platform.
