Refresh indicates time period which OpenKM is looking for new updates from remote OpenKM server or send local changes. We suggest use middle or great refreshing time values, specially if are synchronizing middle or great size folders. Take advantage in these cases of manual checkout and commit feature to be respectuous with your OpenKM server. |
