Stopping and starting the synchronisation between the database and the segment server

The available Stop sync command in the system menu of Tillydroid means that data about the guest tabs created on the mobile POS terminal are constantly being transferred to the segment database, while menu changes are sent back from the segment server to the local database. Data exchange runs automatically when there is a connection with the segment server.

If you press Stop sync, data exchange between the segment database and the local database of the mobile POS terminal will not be carried out even if there is a connection with the server.

When the synchronisation is disabled, the system menu displays the Start sync command. Selecting it restarts the synchronisation between the local database and the segment server database.
