<WRAP center round info 60%> | Data that syncs with a patient: |
For synced systems with [[https://docs.msupply.org.nz/mobile|mSupply Mobile]] dispensaries, there will be a **Collector** copy of all the dispensaries on the central server. Following the rules described here, if there is a dispensary **Active** on the central server, and a patient is created in it, that patient will become visible in //all// mSupply mobile dispensaries in your system //unless// the store preference **Patients created in other stores not visible in this store** is switched ''ON'' for //each// of those dispensaries. | * Their insurance policies |
| * Their repeats (Note, other sites won't be able to see and use them) |
| * Their PMR records |

| Data that does NOT sync: |
| * Transactional/prescription history |
| * Patient events |

| While it can be used to make all patients visible across all dispensary stores across all sync sites, use caution with the store pref //Patients created in other stores not visible in this store//. Doing so does not scale well on large systems if it is turned **OFF** for many stores as it causes exponential data growth and sync traffic: |
| |
| * (50 stores) x (100,000 patients) = 5 million visibility records |
| * Initialising a site with 3 dispensaries with the pref off will require syncing 100k patients, and 300k visibility records. |
| * It does not include prescription data. If it did it'd only add to the above. |

While it is not normal to have a dispensary on the central server, it is possible. Indeed, If you had a national register of all patients, and wanted to manage their patient details centrally, and make them //all// visible to //all// mSupply mobile dispensaries, importing all patients in to such a dispensary would be a way of achieving this, provided that the store preference **Patients created in other stores not visible in this store** is switched ''OFF'' for //each// of those dispensaries.</WRAP> | |

Once a patient has been created in a dispensary, its store visibility can then be amended in this tab. | Once a patient has been created in a dispensary, its store visibility can then be amended in this tab. |
