Downloading Data to the Batch Portable
Application
You will want to synchronize your data at regular intervals, especially after
you start using DMS Inventory regularly, that way your data will stay cur-
rent between the workstation application and the batch portable applica-
tion. To transfer data, connect the handheld device and the desktop
computer (by using a cradle or cable connection with ActiveSync or
Mobile Device Center Software); data synchronization with the worksta-
tion application occurs via the Batch Synchronization Utility in the work-
station application or via the Sync menu options in the batch portable
application.
Transferring
Data When you synchronize your data, the data that is sent from the workstation
database to the handheld database is called downloaded data. After you
install the Inventory application on your system and set up batch commu-
nication, you must send data via the Batch Synchronization Utility to send
the sync config files to the handheld application. To send data to the hand-
held device application, use the Send Data tab in the Batch Synchroniza-
tion Utility. There, you are able to specify the data being sent for sites,
locations, consumable inventory, items, and security settings. The data that
is sent during download to the handheld application depends on your DMS
Batch Synchronization Utility settings.
Note: For data synchronization to occur between the workstation appli-
cation and the batch portable application via ActiveSync or Windows
Mobile Device Center Software, the handheld device must be connected to
your PC via cradle or cable.
• Certain information from the workstation database is automatically sent
to the Batch Portable application database every time you send data.
This includes the sync config files, the language settings and the user
ID information.
• Other information from the workstation including sites, locations, con-
sumable inventory, item numbers and their descriptions, departments
and is sent if you elect to send it.
• If security is enabled in the workstation application, you have the
option to send security settings to the Batch Portable application. When
you send security settings to the batch portable application, the applica-
tion security settings are also enforced in the batch portable application.
