You can create a mirror at any time by selecting File, Database Management, Create Local Mirror Database. You must be logged in with Supervisor or Master access to use the feature. In addition, images (photographs, signatures. Etc.) must be stored in the database, not in separate files. If this is not the case you can convert the database at any time. For more information see Converting Between Methods.
If this menu option is not available, but Synchronize Local Mirror Database is, then a mirror already exists and can be brought up to date by selecting this option.
In either case, if you have a lot of badge records in your database, or have a slow computer or connection to the database, then a progress dialog will display to indicate the operation status.
Note that if you have enabled main database synchronization and the mirror database contains changes which have not been uploaded, then you will be warned about this if you try to synchronizes the local mirror database. You can choose to either synchronize then main database first, before synchronizing the mirror, or proceed and loose the changes made to the mirror database. Once completed, a dialog will indicate the success of the operation.
You can also delete a mirror database and this can be done whether or not it contains any changes.
