Administration details
Concept | What it is |
|---|---|
Office Brands Message window | The messages log file that indicates whether the process was a success or failure. Customers can use this log to watch the process. |
The following tasks are set up when the site goes live on the interface. We run these manually when testing or training so that we can see the results immediately. The customer does not have to run these tasks themselves.
Task | What it is | When it runs |
|---|---|---|
Office Brands Sync | Sends up products and prices (excluding images), contracts, base price level contracts and contact changes. | Every 15 minutes during the day |
Office Brands End of Day Sync | Sends up product images, customer invoices and National Account/Local Buy sales. Downloads updated product images. | Once a day, at the end of the day |
Office Brands Category Sync | Synchronises categories in Readysell with those on the Office Brands member’s web site. If a customer wants a new category to use in Readysell, they should create it in Web Admin first and let the Category Sync task create it in Readysell. | Once a day, at the end of the day |
| Office Brands Business Intelligence | Uploads BI sales data. | Once a week on Sunday night |
