=== When to run Required minimally- IMPORTANT ===

Run '''while connected to the network''' at at the following times ('''REQUIRED''' - this goes to Regional Server):

#at '''~~every shift start~~''' before data entry (to ensure you have the newest version of the program)

#at '''beginning of collection with a laptop''' before data entry (to ensure you have the newest version of the program)

#at '''~~every shift~~ end''' (to ensure your data is backed up to the server)

#at '''end of collection with a laptop''' (to ensure your data is backed up to the server)

#'''after [[sending]]''' but '''before DELETING''' any files from laptop - IMPORTANT!!!!!!

#you can additionally back up mid day if you have done ~~alot~~ of work.

#you can additionally back up mid day if you have done a lot of work.

**There is a difference between the end of shift and the end of data collection on that laptop. Do you meant at the end of data collection that day on that laptop? Many of us will end collection on a laptop and then either collect data on a different laptop or do wiki reading or email stuff for example. --[[User:LKolesar|LKolesar]] 13:34, 2016 July 20 (CDT)

**Your point is well taken, Laura, additionally the same scenario may apply to "every shift start" as data collectors may check WIKI or emails prior to running News and Backup/initiation of data collection on laptops. [[User:Ppiche|Pamela Piche]] 15:53, 2016 July 20 (CDT)
