How To Open Sync Engine’s Dashboard (Sync Settings)¶
Important
If the Sync settings access page is displayed as a blank window, make sure to disable any adblocking browser extensions (e.g. Adblock Plus or uBlock Origin) for this page and then reload it. This is required because the page uses some scripts which are also used by web ads
Synchronization Dashboard is a configuration tool used to set up or customize Revenue Grid sync functioning locally, to get a detailed overview of your RG Email Sidebar usage, and to troubleshoot issues. In the Dashboard, you can:
- View synchronization statistics
- View Exchange and Salesforce connection statuses
- Switch to another Salesforce or Exchange account
- Administer your RG Email Sidebar account
- Configure activities synchronization settings
- Monitor and resolve synchronization issues
The Dashboard’s functions and Sync settings are mostly identical for MS Exchange / Office 365 and Gmail accounts, with the exception of several MS Exchange specific functions.
