The people groups take some time to synchronise on the system once they're created. This can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 12 hours, depending on the number of changes.

  • To synchronise the newly-created or updated people groups manually, follow the steps in the next section.

Manually syncing people groups

  • Click the gear icon to access the Setup and Configuration menu.

  • Click Ruleset Setup.

  • Select the ruleset you would like to update.

  • Navigate to the Integrations tab.

  • Scroll down to the Bulk Additional Service Imports – Push section.
  • For the People group import function, you have two options when synchronising manually:
      • Click REQUEST ALL DATA to synchronise all the people groups.
          • This is a time-consuming operation because all the people groups' data is overwritten and synchronised from scratch.

Please be very careful when selecting this option, as it can affect system performance and speed, particularly during business hours.

      • Click REQUEST RECENT CHANGES to synchronise only recent changes to your people groups.
          • This is a time-efficient option because only the changes are synchronised, and the previous data remains unchanged.

  • Once you have selected a synchronisation method, a message will appear stating that the import has been requested. You can monitor the synchronisation progress by navigating to your System Inbox.
