Click the Admin breadcrumb and select Sync Site Manager.Sync Site Manager enables you to enter serving sites that are not currently replicating to be set up for synchronization.

Configuring Serving Sites for Synchronization
To configure a serving site, follow these steps.

1. Enter the site name or ID. This field uses Smart Search, so partial names or IDs are acceptable. Any sites matching the text you enter here will display in the drop-down menu.
   Note: If you have a site serving students from an alternative site, it is a best practice to set them both up on Sync in order to avoid balance discrepancies. This is not enforced through the software, but it is strongly recommended.
2. Click the site you want to configure for Sync. It will automatically populate in the list.
   
3. Add as many sites as you want to configure.
4. Enter the configuration information.
   1. The database name will default to "WebSMARTT". You can change this, but it is generally recommended to keep this default value.
   2. Enter the server name for this site. Note that the combination of the database name and server name must be unique for each site.
   3. If you are using SQL authentication, enter the username and password. Otherwise, select the checkbox in the Win. Auth column.
   4. Select the appropriate URL for that site from the WebSMARTT URL drop-down menu.
5. If you would like to centralize the Sync data or back up the database, use the Centralize Data and Backup Site Database checkboxes. For more information, see the Centralizing and Backing up Data section below.
6. Click Save when you have configured your sites. The software will validate the server name information. Errors will display if a connection cannot be made, and the ones that do connect will be saved. Correct any errors and click Save to continue.

Centralizing and Backing up Data
When adding new sites, there are two checkboxes that can be used to centralize and back up data from the added serving sites. The two checkboxes are Centralize Data and Backup Site Database.

When using Backup Site Database, if the chosen database name does not exist at the site, the backup will fail.

Enabling and Disabling Serving Sites
If you need to enable or disable a serving site from replicating, you can use the Enabled checkboxes or the buttons near Save.
