Data View


The Data View tab is all of the data SyncEzy has stored historically from a compliance perspective and you can export into an excel spreadsheet if required. The integration is programmed to alert your admin(s) of any pertinent actions needed to be taken if there's ever an issue created by an end user so you will not need to be searching in the reporting on a daily basis. If you have questions on any of these reports as they are developer-friendly for referencing, please use the 24/5 icon and start a chat with a Tech Specialist from our Support Team for clarification. You can screenshare with our Tech Specialists to walk them through any questions you may have as well in your Procore or box accounts regarding end user activities, etc. 

Settings


1. Integration Name

This setting is to give a custom name to your integration.  Click on the Edit icon to edit and click save when you are done. You can enter 70 characters maximum.

2. Notification email

Enabling this option will send you an email to the SyncEzy-Email about the sync status. Add emails in the text box below it to receive notifications.  Maximum 5 emails can be added. Separate each email with a comma, like: mail@example.commail2@example.com.

3. Sync Options :

App Owners can choose what options are selectable during Sync. Basically the APP Owner can enable/disable the sync methods and features. Please note these toggles are visible to APP Owner only.
  1. Configuration Method Controls: Provides options to enable or disable specific methods for adding projects to the sync.

4. Email Statistics

If enabled, the system will send automated email notifications providing a summary of data synced and the overall health of the integration.
Users can choose how often they receive these reports (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly) by selecting one of the following options 1D: Daily 1W: Weekly 1M: Monthly

5. Special Characters

The Procore-box sync does not allow special characters in the naming. Enabling this option allows us to replace these Special Characters in the Procore Photos tool Album names from # % * : < > ? / \ | ~  "  to Hyphen '-'. You may face errors while syncing if you add any of these special characters in Procore or box and if this option is disabled. This feature works for the Photos tool only as Procore itself cleans up the special characters for the Documents tool whereas in the Photos tool, they allow special characters.

6. Sync Deletes

Enabling this option will allow you to delete files from both systems if you delete it from one. If you delete a file from Procore, it will delete it from box. If you delete a file from box, it will delete it from Procore. If this option is disabled, deleted files will not be synced and you will have to manually remove it from the other system. You can of course increase or decrease the limit. Once the limit is hit, the sync will not delete any more files and the sync will email the administrator with the path of the files not deleted. The Sync deletes limit will reset after 24 hours. (Please note that the 24-hour deletion limit reset is based on the file deletion time, which means the 24-hour starts from the time you have deleted the file). The important thing to note is that, currently this feature works within the "Documents" tool only. For "Photos" tool you will need to manually delete the files from both sides.

Please note: For example, if this feature is enabled and your sync delete limit is set to 25 in 24 hours and you have deleted 100 files from box, the deletion of 25 files only will be synced back to Procore. This means those 25 files only will be deleted from both applications (you are syncing your deletes). However, the deletion of the remaining 75 files will remain unsynced in Procore unless those files are deleted manually from Procore. These 75 files will be shown as unsynced when you check the File Manager in your SyncEzy Integration Portal. To avoid this we recommend you to increase the Sync Delete limit to 10000 or more. The deletion limit can be changed in the Details menu.


Sync Status

You can view the sync status in this tab - success or failure. The sync runs every day and you will be able to see when it starts and when it completes.
