When a job is created, the system automatically creates a branch version in each feature service referenced in the map. All versions share the same name across feature services. The Job Management table maintains the link between the job and its associated versions, ensuring all edits are isolated from the default version until the job is ready to be merged.

Reconcile is the process of synchronizing these versions with the default version of their respective feature services. This happens at two points in a job's lifecycle:

•During active work: a worker syncs the latest changes from the default version into the job version to stay up to date

•When closing a job: a supervisor merges the completed job version back into the default version

Before reconcile starts, the system checks for active locks on all related feature services. If locks are found, reconcile will not run and a notification lists the affected services. All locks must be released before proceeding.

How Reconcile Works Across Feature Services

When reconcile runs, it processes all versions associated with the job - one per feature service.

The process runs across all services regardless of individual errors:

•Conflicts from all feature services are collected and displayed together in the conflict panel. Each conflict identifies the feature service it belongs to.

•If reconcile encounters an error in one feature service, it continues processing the remaining services. An error message identifies the affected feature service(s). You must retry reconcile for those services or contact your administrator.

•If conflict resolution fails for a specific feature service, an error is shown for that service. Resolution for other feature services is unaffected and does not need to be repeated.

For details on resolving conflicts, see Resolve Conflicts.

Release Lock from all Associated Versions

To release all locks for a job's associated versions in one action, click Release Locks on the job.

The system processes each version across all feature services in sequence.

If a lock cannot be released, an error message specifies the version and feature service that failed and advises you to retry or contact your administrator. The process continues through all remaining versions regardless of individual failures.

Synchronize Job Version with Default Version

The Last Sync field on the job shows the date on which the latest changes from the default version were last merged into the job's version.

To reconcile:

1.Select a job to view its details.

2.Click the refresh icon to reconcile.

The system compares all versions associated with the job against the default version of their respective feature services, bringing the latest changes into your job version while keeping your edits isolated.

If you click Reconcile while there are unsaved edits, a warning appears stating that these edits will not be reconciled. You can choose to cancel and continue editing, or proceed with the reconcile.

Handling Conflicts

If the same feature was edited differently in both your job version and the default version, conflicts must be resolved before work can continue.

When conflicts are detected:

•A notification appears indicating that conflicts must be resolved.

•A conflict resolution panel opens displaying the conflicting properties from all feature services.

•Resolve conflicts using your organisation's configured method (automatic or manual).

•Validate the resolved changes before continuing work.

For detailed instructions, see Resolve Conflicts.
