Importing instances from an external database requires a Single Connect job for synchronization. The job will update the information on Single Connect periodically, depending on the cron expression:

1. Navigate to **Administration** > **Jobs Scheduler**.
2. Open the **Trigger List** tab.
3. Select **DeviceDatabaseImportJob** as the Job.
4. Fill in the **Trigger Name** and **Cron Expression** fields.
5. To enable the job, select **Enabled** for the** Active **field and click **Save**.
