Best Practices for Users

First Time Sync
  • The very first time you use Pulsar, please make sure the device has a good Wi-Fi/3G connection. This is when Pulsar syncs all the data you need from Salesforce to the device. 
  • Please remember to keep the Pulsar app open until the sync process finishes.


  • If you click the home button on the device (or open another app), the sync will stop.
Daily Sync - Start of the day
  • Make sure to sync (over a good Internet connection) before starting the day. This will ensure that device has all the latest information from the Salesforce.
  • Click on the green button on the toolbar and then Sync Now (at the bottom) to start the sync process.
  • This is generally a very short sync process and should not take more than few minutes to complete.
DO NOT Resync Local DB
  • This button is present only for disaster recovery mode and it runs a full initial sync.
  • You don't actually ever have to use it. If for any reason, you need to, you should contact your SF admin or Luminix Support


Working in Offline Mode
  • If the network connection is not consistent and keeps dropping during field visits, you can work in offline mode.

  • You can follow these steps to sync once you have a better Internet connection.
    • Finish your work  
    • Toggle the Work offline option 
    • Click on Sync Now
