Sync Scheduling

Watchmont keeps every tenant's data fresh with scheduled background jobs. A SuperAdmin can view and adjust them from the portal.

Managing schedules from the portal

Admin › Settings › Sync Scheduling (SuperAdmin-only) lists every background schedule with a plain-English cadence and lets you:

  • Pause or Resume a job.
  • Edit how often it runs.

How the sync keeps up

Tenants are processed in concurrent batches rather than one at a time, with a per-tenant timeout so a single slow tenant can't stall the rest. This keeps the whole estate syncing on schedule as you add more clients.

If one tenant looks behind

If some tenants show stale data while others are current, give it a sync cycle to catch up. It's almost always the sync catching up rather than a problem with that tenant. If it persists, flag it to a SuperAdmin.
