Getting Started

Reset Cloud Data

Inform all users about the steps they are involved in.

Click on the <img src="../images/cloud_delete_24x24.png" alt="" width="24" height="24" /> button to delete the cloud storage.

Caution:

In the next message box select <strong>Synchronize</strong> to upload the local TheocBase data to the cloud. If you click on <strong>Sign out</strong> you will be <a href="#disconnect_cloud_storage">disconnected from the cloud storage</a>.

Disconnect the Cloud Storage

Click on the <img src="../images/logout_24x24.png" alt="" width="24" height="24" /> button to disconnect the cloud storage.

Access control settings will be removed locally and the data in TheocBase will be cleared, if it was shared by someone else.

Before editing data, make sure you have loaded the recent changes and likewise synchronize also when you have finished your editing. Otherwise, if similar changes can be found in the cloud, your local changes may be overwritten as you synchronize; as administrator you will be notified about such a conflict.

On synchronizing as <strong>administrator</strong> with another device after this time, a dialog appears with the message, that the cloud data has been deleted. The dialog needs to be confirmed with <strong>Yes</strong> or <strong>Continue</strong>, in order to discard the local data on that device and replace it by the cloud data. As a <strong>non-administrator</strong> these steps take place automatically.

Click on the <strong>Yes</strong> button and confirm to delete the cloud data.
