Data Sync operates as a Windows Service which means that it is always available and running regardless of whether or not Data Sync is open or even if anyone is actually logged in to the Windows server. This means that as long as the server/computer that Data Sync has been installed on is powered on and functional then scheduled data imports will continue to take place on time as scheduled.
