Sync data back to tablet
Posted: March 17th, 2020, 10:35 am
Hi,
I'm wondering if the following is possible and/or advisable:
Say that I have a regular survey going on collecting the same data every month (For instance price collection for CPI), and I want to compare this months data with last month, but only after they have been checked and maybe corrected by HQ. So I need to send the data back to the tablets after inspection (I would use 2 different dictionaries and use previous months data just for looking up).
Can I use "syncfile(get,..)" to get the csdb file from the server?
Also: I'm concerned about the amount of data on the tablets, so I want each tablet to fetch only the data relevant for the area it is in - based on the area code. So here is my plan after data has been collected:

- each local office do the data correction and sends the result as a csdb file (I can accept tab separated file as well) to the Main office
- The main office collects all the files in the hierarcy appName/lookupFiles/region/subregion/prices_MM_YY.csdb (MM is last month) And publishes
- When the tablets syncs, from the lookupFiles folder, it only fetches the one csdb with the same region code (and month)
