In this article, we will review how to check Project sync status.
PPM Express Projects contain data configured by the Project Manager. However, if the project is linked to any external system, in addition to manually added information, data from the linked Project is synchronized. You can verify the last sync status from the Project page itself - verify if the sync button is green or red, which means that the last sync was successful or has failed accordingly.
However, a much easier and quicker way is to check the sync status of all Projects using the Sync Status view.
Sync Status view can be accessed by the following steps:
- Navigate to the Projects page.
- Switch to the Table data representation.
- Select Sync Status view.
Sync Status view contains the following information:
- Project Name the name of the Project in PPM Express
-
Linked System, in case the PPM Express Project is linked to a Project from an external system, the system icon and name are displayed.
The Linked System column will be empty if the PPM Express Project is not linked to a Project from an external system.
If the PPM Express Project is linked to an Office365 group, the Linked System column in Sync Status view will be empty as well. - Sync date displays the date and time of the Project last sync
-
Sync Status shows a sync icon:
- if the icon is green – that last sync was successful
- if the icon is grey – sync is in progress
- if the icon is red – the last sync has failed
- Sync Details shows an error message that the last sync failed with.
Actions available from the Sync Status view:
- Run sync per Project. To do so, click the sync button next to the Project for which you wish to run sync.
- Run sync of all or several Projects. To do so, select Projects and click the run sync button.
- Bulk Edit of all or several Projects. To do so, click the bulk edit button. Please find more details on bulk editing here.
- Export to CSV.
- Apply Layout to apply the layout to all selected Projects.
- Archive selected Projects.
- Delete selected Projects.
