# Change the sync schedule

Adjust how often the EMR Provider Directory Sync imports data by editing the **FHIR Sync — Daily** scheduled job directly.

## Before you begin

Role required: `sn_hco_intg_fhir.admin`.

## About this task

The sync cadence is controlled entirely by the scheduled job record — the application defines no separate system property for it. Edit the job's run frequency and time to change when the sync runs.

**Important:** The **FHIR Sync — Daily** job is installed inactive. Set the **Active** field to true on the job record before the sync will run on its configured schedule.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **System Definition** > **Scheduled Jobs** and open the **FHIR Sync — Daily** record.

2.  Set the **Run** frequency and the run time to your preferred cadence.

    The default is daily at 03:00 instance time. Choose a window when load on both your instance and the FHIR server is low.

3.  Save the record.


## Result

The change takes effect on the next scheduled run. No restart is required.
