How much historical data is synced when you first connect SharpSpring to Databox?

When you connect a new SharpSpring Data Source in Databox, the most recent 75,000 results are initially synced.

Pro Tip: Once your SharpSpring Data Source is connected and actively syncing data, we store the data that's collected in our own database. This allows us to accumulate more data over time as more data syncs are made so that you can report on more historical SharpSpring data in your Databox reports. Learn more here.

What time zone does SharpSpring data sync in?

SharpSpring data is synced in the time zone set in the SharpSpring Account. For example, if your SharpSpring Account time zone is set as EST, your SharpSpring data will sync with Databox in EST.

How to access pre-built SharpSpring Templates

Navigate to the Templates page

In the Data Source drop-down list, select SharpSpring

To view a preview of the Template populated with dummy data, click Preview

To pull the Template into your Account and re-populate it with your own SharpSpring data, click Use Template

Select the appropriate SharpSpring Data Source from the drop-down list to complete the process. The Databoard will be re-populated with data from the selected SharpSpring Account and can be found on the Databoards page

Pro Tip: Once the Databoard is available on the Databoards page, it is completely disconnected from the public Template. Therefore, you can further customize this Databoard to meet your specific needs using the Designer.
