Sync Records Screen
Use the Sync Records screen to sync or discard offline timesheet data. You can choose to sync offline timesheet data right away or at a later time.
When you get back online and then log into the application, Costpoint Mobile T&E displays the available offline timesheets and prompts you to sync or discard offline timesheet data.
