Click inside the checkbox (or Select All) to chose files to be sync with online applications. Clicking the Activate Files button automatically sends the information to the online applications and prepares new data to be transferred (synced) with the POS terminals.  Next to the button labeled "Force Send" is a dropdown box that allows the users to Force Send all data (not just new data) to the specified application. Schedule/Concession sends to all applications. Schedule Only sends up all movie information. Concession Only sends up all Food and Drink data. 

Important Note:  Internet technology relies on numerous relays and exchanges to transfer data from one point to another and while Retriever Software does everything possible to verify all data has been sent, we encourage users to verify all data when sending changes online platforms.  If you send up changes and do not see them properly reflected in a reasonable amount of time, try the Force Send Button. Depending on individual connection speeds, you may be required to force send more than once due to timing out issues outside of the software's control). If after a few attempts, your changes are still not live, please contact customer support at 888-988-4470. 

G.  System Dates - There are three date calendars and all are important.  The Terminal Date represents the date matching your POS terminal's date (most likely the current date). The MCS Date, or Main Computer Date, is the date associated with Retriever Process. It is important that the Terminal Date and the MCS Date match the current operating date. There are a few exceptions during which the MCS date can be changed, but such changes should only be done with the assistance of technical support staff. The terminal and MCS dates are changed during the first two steps of the End of Day process. Only change them manually when absolutely necessary.

H. VPN Connection Buttons - Customer Cards VPN is green when your system is communicating with your customer card/loyalty database.

If they remain red, you may need to relaunch the SoftEther Application from your Windows Computer.
