Pending Items Tile

If any pending actions exist for your business via Dealer Gateway, the system displays a Pending Items tile on the home page.

This tile lists the number of pending actions and provides access to the Pending Actions page, which displays all pending actions for your business via Dealer Gateway.

You can add items to the Pending Actions page during Item Sync processing by clicking the Confirm icon on the Sync With System page.  The Sync With System page also displays a Pending icon that lists the current count of pending actions.

If an error occurs during any item sync process that prevents the system from syncing an item with your business software database, the system will list the pending action on the Pending Actions page along with an error message explaining why the pending action could not be completed.

From the Pending Actions page, you can review and update pending actions, check error messages, remove pending actions without processing them, and apply pending actions.

When you click [Save] on the Pending Actions page to apply the pending actions, the system removes the applied actions from the Pending Actions page and updates the pending action count.  If no pending actions remain, the Pending icon on the Sync With System page will show a count of zero (0) and the Pending Item tile will not be displayed on the home page.

For more information on adding and managing pending actions, see the Supplies Tile, Equipment Tile, and Parts Tile topics. For troubleshooting information, see the "Troubleshooting Errors Listed on the Pending Actions Page" below.
