New page

Sync mode is a user configurable setting which affects the way UBIK client communicates with UBIK server. More specifically, it determines when and how the client fetches/commits UBIK content, or whether to have data communication at all.

== Possible sync modes ==
There are three/four different modes in UBIK. Here are their names and defined behaviors:
* Automatic: content is fetched/committed automatically;
* Manual Commit: content is fetched automatically; commit only happens when triggered by users;
* Offline: content is only fetched/committed when triggered by users;
* Prepare: if users have selected any branches before switching to offline mode, this is the intermediate mode during the preparation.

In the action bar of any UBIK client applications, there is a button for switching between the different modes. Upon clicking the button, a drop down styled menu would open with all the non-intermediate modes. Users can switch to any one of them by selecting them in the menu.
In addition, the mode switch button also serves as the indicator of the current mode.
