Sync Configs

Web Portal Setting Gear

To begin setting up your new Fast-Weigh application you will first need to create a Sync Config. Think of this as your new "Devices" page, as this is where you will set up what kind of device will be used and at which location. There are new components to setting up your Sync Config(Devices) and that will be outlined below.

New Sync Config

  • Name: Set the name of device. Ex. Knoxville Scale house

  • Locations: Select the location(s) of the device

  • Barcode Formats: Used with Mobile Ticketing - If you are unsure of this setting, leave this blank.

  • Ticket Break: Important for multi-location ticketing - This will separate your tickets based on the selection

  • Target Server Version: Set server version, will generally always be the most up-to-date server version listed as "Available"

  • Target UI Version: Set UI version, will generally always be the most up-to-date UI version listed as "Available"

  • Target Kiosk Server Version: Set Kiosk server version, will generally always be the most up-to-date kiosk server version listed as "Available"

  • Auto Update Time: The interval set that will update the app when they are made Available

  • Active: Ensure this is checked so that you can utilize the created Sync Config

Once you click "Update" you should see your newly created Sync Config in the table. This will now allow you to download the appropriate version of the new application, as well as create Lanes to be used when ticketing. Your table will populate an API Key that you will need to utilize when logging into the new application as well.
