Synchronisation

Your first data synchronisation may take some time. You cannot use the program while synchronisation is in progress. You should therefore decide if you want to synchronise now or later and can make this decision when you are prompted by the wizard (see below).

Note! API users and Mamut Business Software integrations with other software must be disabled when synchronising with Mamut Online for the first time.

The synchronising of Mamut Online will occur from one of the computers in the network. This is usually the same computer with which you connect. This can be changed later within the company settings for Mamut Online. In a multi-user database, it is recommended that you use the computer containing the system database for synchronisation.

The connection must be done through Mamut Business Software.
