The Update option is a two-way process: databases at the current and the selected location will be updated so that they are in step with each other, unlike the Synchronise option which only updates the current location.

Select Data > Update on the main ADMIN menu bar, to display the Unscheduled Database Update window.

The Update With Location list contains a list of all locations with which updates are possible: that is, on-line locations that are the parent, a child or a member of the same group. Only a single location can be selected.

The Allocated Databases list contains all the databases allocated to the current location. Set the Update option button to Selected, and select one or more databases from the list, or set the Update option button to All. If you choose Selected, you can use the All and Clear buttons to select all the databases in the list, and to clear the selection.
