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 LinkPoint Connect(ME) sync functioning locally, to get a detailed overview of your LinkPoint Connect(ME) 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 LinkPoint Connect(ME) 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.

- Click Force Sync
Note
The Sync session will not be initiated instantly, but within 1-3 minutes. Additionally, please note that there is a limit on how often Sync forcing can be initiated
Pause LPC Sync¶
If you need to pause LPC sync for any reason, you can do that from the Dashboard as well. To do that:
- Open Sync Dashboard
- Click Pause
Note
Note that when LPC Sync is paused or suspended due to an error, a number of key LinkPoint Connect(ME) features are unavailable. Please refer to this table for more information.
