  4. Click Clear Data
  5. You will be taken back to the login page. Login to Roam. New data will download

Trigger Sync from Retailer

From the Main Screen, click Tasks -> Weblink Full Sync
A prompt 'Do you want to perform a full weblink sync now?' will appear. Click Yes then Ok.

Restart Weblink Service

If Retailer is still not uploading new data to Roam, you may need to restart the Weblink Service.
Alternatively, Restart the Main/Server computer
  1. On the Main/Server computer find the RetailerV3 Backup icon (Blue R)
  2. Down the left Click on Settings -> Database Settings
