Synchronization Process
This diagram shows the synchronization process between your Salesforce org and the Life Sciences Cloud mobile app.

Synchronization Types
Synchronization between the Life Sciences Cloud mobile app and your Salesforce org can happen in a few different ways: Full, Delta, and Upload Only.
| Sync Type | What it Does | When it Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Full | Downloads all territory-specific data and metadata to the user’s mobile device and then uploads their transactions, logs, and statistics to Salesforce. |
|
| Delta | Refreshes the app’s database, downloads the latest information and sends the user’s changes to the server, and downloads list views. This process can run in the foreground (which requires the user to wait before using the app) or in the background. |
|
| Upload Only | Uploads mobile app data, such as transactions, logs, and statistics, to Salesforce. It’s a one-way process, so no metadata or other data is downloaded to the user’s device. |
