Corporate Communication Client / Databoard

Enable Data Sync:

Activate this option to exchange Frequent Diner information across the chain.

Databoard / Administration / Synchronization

The Maitre'D Frequent Diner database consists of many data files located at the different restaurants. Because the database is distributed, different users can access it without interfering with one another. However, the Maitre'D Synchronization must periodically update the scattered databases to make sure that they all have consistent data. A benefit of Maitre'D Synchronization is the availability of current data when and where it is needed.

The date column displays the moment each restaurant was activated in the Synchronization.

Enable the Active option to include a restaurant in the Synchronization.

Click on the Pencil icon to choose which restaurant to make available for Synchronization.
