Overview
Quick Sync gauges and dashboard reports are available for use with ConnectWise PSA™ (Manage) to display after new tickets are created or updated. With the new sync architecture (called 2.0) in place, you see your data in near real-time in the dashboard. These new 2.0 datasets empower you to make effective business decisions. The data in the Quick Sync gauges become available within a few minutes of creation or customer update. To learn more about displaying your most up-to-date data, refer to BrightGauge Dashboards documentation.
Important: This feature is available for cloud-hosted ConnectWise PSA™ (Manage) only. Before you connect to the PSA (Manage) Cloud as a datasource in BrightGauge®, you must create an API member with a dedicated security role. For more information, refer to Connect to ConnectWise Manage Cloud.

Field Descriptions
Drill-down information is available from Quick Sync gauges:

| Ticket # | Displays the ticket number. Clicking this number will bring you to the ticket in ConnectWise PSA (Manage). |
| Ticket Age | Displays the age of the Service Ticket. |
| Summary | Displays a summary of the issue. |
| Status | Displays the status of the Service Ticket. Statuses should be changed as the work for the service ticket progresses. Statuses are defined in the Status Tab of the Service Board setup table. Assign service ticket defaults in the Service Board setup table. |

Selecting the severity and impact causes the system to automatically populate the priority assigned in the SLA Setup Table. Otherwise, PSA assigns the default set in the Priority Setup Table. If the ticket comes via the Customer Portal or Email Connector you can specify a default priority. |

Invalid Dataset Error
Quick Sync for PSA Cloud uses new 2.0 datasets to function. The new 2.0 datasets work independently. Today, these datasets cannot be combined with standard datasets for creating multi-layer gauges. If you attempt to create a multi-layer gauge using a 2.0 dataset and a standard dataset you will receive the following error screen. Refer to Common Dataset Errors for more information.
Quick Sync for PSA Cloud
Quick Sync gauges refresh every few minutes to provide the most up-to-date data and reporting from PSA. Quick Sync gauges can be added to your dashboard or reports to display the number of New Unassigned Tickets from the last 14 days and the most recent Customer Updated Open Tickets. A green checkmark displays in the bottom right of the gauge to help you locate active Quick Sync gauges. The 2.0 datasets work independently and cannot be combined with standard datasets for creating multi-layer gauges.

FAQ
How do you access this feature? 
If you are a PSA cloud partner that uses BrightGauge and PSA Cloud integration with BrightGauge, Use the drop-down menu located in the top left of your Dashboards screen and select Service Tickets – Quick Sync to receive these new 2.0 datasets. Some partners access BrightGauge directly, without going through PSA, so we have created mappings for these partners so they can also receive these new 2.0 datasets.
What is the benefit of Quick Sync?
We know that you use dashboards to make informed business decisions and that time is key. Quick Sync displays your most up-to-date data in a clear and concise way that allows you to see what is happening in your business in near real-time.
How does this integrate with existing product features?
The new 2.0 datasets work independently. These datasets cannot be combined with existing datasets for creating multi-layer gauges. In the future, we hope to add more 2.0 datasets and upgrade the older datasets.
