Sync to GDAT

Once DGBrowser has captured your match data, Sync to GDAT… copies it into a GDAT database, attached to a GDAT profile, ready for clustering, chromosome mapping, and ancestor research.

Before you sync

Close the database in GDAT first. Don't sync into a file that GDAT has open.
Use a decrypted GDAT file. The sync works on a plain .db file. If your GDAT database is encrypted, export a decrypted copy from GDAT first; if it can't be read, the sync window will tell you.

Syncing

Click Sync to GDAT… in the toolbar.
GDAT file — browse to your GDAT .db file. (The path is remembered; you can also preset it under Settings….)
Profile — pick the GDAT profile the data belongs to (the tester), or click New profile… to create one.
Kits for this profile — the window lists every kit DGBrowser has captured, by vendor and name. Tick the kit(s) that represent this tester — one per vendor. Only the ticked kits sync, and your choices are remembered on the profile for next time.
Click Sync and watch the progress log. When it finishes, open the database in GDAT 4 — your matches are there.

Safe to repeat. The GDAT file is backed up automatically before every sync, and re-syncing replaces the rows this app wrote earlier instead of duplicating them. A good rhythm is: browse and capture for a while, then sync; capture more, sync again.

One profile per tester. If you manage kits for several family members, give each one their own GDAT profile and sync their kits to it — the kit choices are remembered per profile.
