Job queue

Optional

This step keeps master data fresh automatically. Skip it for a quick trial; add it for any real deployment.

The FastTrack Wizard moves master data into Dime.Scheduler once. From that moment onward, anything you change in Business Central - a new resource, a renamed filter, a retired category - is invisible to Dime.Scheduler until you tell it otherwise. For a real deployment, that drift adds up fast: planners see ghost resources, missing categories, and filters that no longer match what BC enforces.

The fix is a small codeunit, DS Scheduled Synch, that re-publishes the same master data the wizard did. You can run it on demand from the DS Setup page, but the production answer is to add it to Business Central's job queue so it runs on a cadence and you never have to think about it.

Each run synchronizes:

  1. Filters, categories, time markers, and pins
  2. Resources (if standard resources are enabled)
  3. Work and machine centers (if enabled in production routing planning)

How often to run it is a judgment call - hourly is plenty for most setups, once a day is fine if your master data barely changes, and anything more frequent rarely earns its keep.
