Admin Datasync Function Configuration

The <function id="datasync"> section contains functions that you can use in admin mode by tapping the Server Synchronization button to open the Server Synchronization screen.

To enable access to these functions, you’ll also need to enable the data_sync_menu function in the <functions id="admin"> section of the clock’s config file. See Admin Function Configuration.
