See the steps in action in this presentation:

When?
- Process devices at least one day before your scheduled coaching session.
How long?
- Transfer to Hub takes 1-2 minutes per device, and then you can walk away.
- Upload then takes 5-20 minutes per device, with computer on, laptop lid open, connected to internet, and not sleeping. You can check progress on the Uploads tab. When the Uploads tab becomes empty, Hub is finished. Note: If each file on the Uploads tab is taking longer than 20 minutes to finish, contact support@lena.org.
- Report creation can take a few hours. Reports are generally ready the day after devices are processed.

Go slow to go fast. This method adds minimal time and eliminates time-consuming errors, confusion, and do-overs.
✅ Turn on devices first, and set aside devices that do not contain data. (See instructions for screen details.)
✅ Connect one device and wait a few seconds for Hub to show it on screen before connecting the next one.
❌ Never connect a Multi Dock that is already full of devices!
A green checkmark beside the battery icon means the device's battery is sufficiently charged and can be unplugged. Note: The checkmark is unrelated to upload progress.
If you process data for multiple sites on your laptop, the Deferred Processing setting minimizes the time you must stay at each site.
