Start and process Duplicate Check Jobs automatically, without user interaction, by activating "Auto Processing" in DC Local.

When Auto Processing is active, DC Local will automatically find new jobs at an interval of 30 seconds. Jobs that are queued in Dynamics 365 to be run in DC Local will be processed automatically without any user interaction. 

Activating Auto Processing

  1. Open DC Local, log in using your Dynamics 365 credentials and select your instance.
  2. At top right, go to Settings .
  3. At "Auto Processing", tick the checkbox for Auto process jobs.
  4. Tick Abort auto-process on failure if you want Duplicate Check Local to stop processing jobs in the event of a failing job.

Make sure your local device does not turn to sleep mode if it is inactive for too long. DC Local can only process jobs when your device is awake. Going to sleep mode while a job is running, may result in a failed job which then needs to be re-run entirely.

Alternatively, use DC Local Server Mode‍. DC Local Server Mode can run on a server in the background without the need for an app to be open at all times.

De-activating Auto Processing

There are two ways of de-activating Auto Processing:

  • You can de-activate auto processing by accessing the settings tab and unticking the "Auto Process jobs" checkbox. Or,
  • You can de-activate auto processing while a job is running, by unticking the checkbox at "Auto process next job".
