Synchronisation

Touchviewer can be managed both locally and remotely. It has been designed to distribute contents on an interactive network of stations installed in different locations. All Touchviewer clients can be configured to send or receive updates manually or in a scheduled manner. The entire architecture is based on an extremely powerful synchronisation system that ensures speed and reliability in all updating tasks with and to the remote server.

Publish configuration

From here you can choose the destination for publishing contents. The destination can be a PC folder, a network folder (select Robocopy), a Strongspace service storage space, or a Dropbox folder.

Excluding thumbnails (recommended for archives with a lot of content) speeds up the publishing process. The thumbnails will be recreated upon synchronisation with the device downloading the updates.

If you choose Strongspace cloud service, you will need to enter the Username of the account and the name of the folder found on strongspace. You also need to enter the SSH Key provided by Strongspace for authentication.

Update configuration

Define the source from where you want to download updates. The source can be a PC folder, a network folder (select Robocopy), a Strongspace service storage space, or a Dropbox folder.

Caution updates will be downloaded to the archive that is currently open.

Once you have selected the source from where you wish to download updates, you can set the synchronisation method:

  • Update contents upon software start-up Every time you start Touchviewer, the procedure performs a check of available updates and downloads any new content or any content that has been edited in the source folder. TickAsk for confirmation before updatingto receive notification asking if you want to update the archive. If you answer no, the update will be requested at the next Touchviewer start-up.
  • Do not update automatically Requires manual updating activation via the Update button.
