    If your Syncro environment can only connect to allowed IPs please allow list the following IPs
    52.247.76.89
    52.247.76.111
    52.247.76.163

  5. Company Types

    1. Enable bi-directional Company Types sync:

      1. Check for full sync - all list of Types will be always updates:
        ​Map Companies: Map company types strategically. Syncro will overwrite anything you mapped. For example. If in Strategy Overview you call clients "Client" and in Syncro you call them "Customer", when you map Customer to Client it will update Strategy Overview to "Customer" when you save the mapping

        Create UnMapped button: Click (This will create all Syncro Company Types in Strategy Overview and automap.)

        Save

      2. Or skip the step - to sync only Types which will come with mapped companies.
        ​
        ​

  6. Companies
    Its best practice to import only Managed clients that are in active Strategic Planning. You do not want to clutter SO with all potential leads, vendors, etc.

    1. Import Companies (button on the right part of the table): Click

    2. Types: Please select the type used for your Managed Clients. Strategy Overview accounts can have unlimited users but are limited by number of Managed Clients in the system used for Strategic planning. This allows us to provide fair pricing for any MSP at any size.

    3. Company Statuses: Usually you only want to import Companies that are Active

    4. Integration Status: All

    5. Load Companies: Click Load Companies and select Companies you want to Import into the system to use for strategic planning. If you already had companies in Strategy Overview and they had the exact same company name, it will automatically map. If you did not, you need to press "Create unmapped" to create them in SO.

    6. Save Mapping
      ​
      ​

      ​
      ​

    - Managed Workstations
    - Basic
    - Premium
    - Engineering
