Import Options

Businesses and industries require up-to-the-minute data to monitor trends, track performance, and make decisions. The Import options section allows you to configure the sync intervals, data fetch periods to be shown to the users to sync the new seamlessly and updated records that are added to the source application.

Timezone

Timezone-based syncing refers to the process of coordinating data synchronization activities across different time zones to ensure that data remains accurate and relevant regardless of geographical location.

Enabling the Allow users to select Timezone option displays the timezone field in the user interface.

Full Data Fetch

A full data fetch is the process of importing all records from a source application into a target application. This approach is helpful when significant changes have been made to the records, preventing data loss, or when there are schema changes in the source application that need to be reflected in the target application.

Enabling the Allow users to perform Full Data Fetch option displays the full fetch option on the data source page of Zoho Analytics and allows users to initiate a full fetch when needed.

Import Schedule 

This section allows to configure the sync intervals options that should be displayed to the users to sync the latest data from the source application.

  1. The Sync Buffer Duration is the timeframe where the records are temporarily collected before they are synchronized between a source application and a target application.  Specify the Sync Buffer Duration.
  2. Choose the sync intervals to be shown to the users from the Allowed Schedule Options drop-down menu. This is a multi-select option and the available options are 1 hour, 2hour, 3 hour, 6 hour, 12 hour and daily.
  3. Fetch period refers to the specific time frame from which data is retrieved or imported during a data synchronization process. This is a multi-select option and the available options are Past 3 months, Past 6 months, Past 9 months, Past 12 months and Past 24 months.
  4. Click Next to proceed with other settings.
