Project Back-up and Access Sharing (continued)

Remarks:

Accounts

•  Same email address may be used on a different smartphone to retrieve data; however, a new account name has to be used.

•  Usage of the same account name on different smartphones is allowed, with different email addresses.

•  If an error is found on login, please ‘Add another account’ and use the same email address to login. All project data will be available.

•  If a project is created with a newly registered email, it can take up to 30 minutes for access to be granted.

•  Be aware that only users who have already registered for Philips Field App MC can be added as contributors.

Projects

•  Simultaneous editing the same project on different smartphones is not allowed.

•  When another user has modified a project to which you are invited, a notification about the changes does not show up when your app is already 

active but only when the app is restarted.

•  Projects can only be deleted when all contributors have been removed first from the project list.

Syncing & Sharing

•  Always check if uploading, downloading, and syncing have been completed successfully. If not, try again. Downloading of an incomplete project can 

result in loss of project data.

•  Project backup sometimes fails. If it continues to fail after a retry, please use the “Report a Problem” feature (see page 52) to send the app data logs 

to the MasterConnect Team for analysis. 

•  The time for syncing depends on the number of devices in a project (typically 4 seconds per device).

•  Ensure the screen timeout/auto lock is not activated during Syncing. This is a general remark for both Android and iOS smartphones. For iOS 

smartphones in particular, please adapt the smartphone Settings.

•  Do not use another app during data synchronization (sync).

•  When deleting or adding devices to a group, always sync (upload) the project to the Cloud. This syncing must be done every time a change is done 

per group. Make sure the project is synced successfully by verifying the syncing notification.

•  After sharing access to a new contributor, it can take some minutes for the new contributor to get the project fully downloaded.
