How to sync Field Manager PRO and 360 with FM PRO Mobile

So you’ve downloaded our app – FM PRO Mobile. That’s great. Now you’re wondering, what’s next? Don’t worry, we’ll walk you through the basic steps to properly sync your app with Field Manager PRO and Field Manager PRO 360.

First, let’s go over some general rules to keep in mind when synching FM PRO Mobile:

1. Only one crop year is in the sync triangle at a time. The only place that multiple crop years exist is on the desktop.
2. Establish a process, either by time of day or by order of tasks for your sync. For example, always sync to the cloud from the app at the end of the hour/day/week. This is vital when there are multiple apps in play so we know when it’s appropriate to sync to the desktop.
3. Once you’ve established your process, stick to it. If you feel you need to change it up, check with support first. We’ll be sure it won’t cause problems in the way your data is moving from the desktop to the app, and back to the desktop.

Here are seven steps for a successful sync process:

1. Sync from the desktop.
2. Sign in on the app.
3. Download the farm to the app.
4. Enter records/make changes.
5. Sync changes up to the cloud.
6. Sign out on the app.
7. Start over at step one.
