• Update: Updates one or both records (as necessary) with the
value or values highlighted in the grid.
Conflict Resolution Dialog Buttons
The Conflict Resolution dialog box also contains the following
buttons:
• OK: Initiates the chosen action and continues the operation.
• Stop: Takes no action and terminates the synchronization.
• View: Displays a dialog showing the full contents of the selected
field(s) for both systems. Use this to display complete values when
lengthy values are truncated in the Conflict Resolution dialog box.
• Help: Displays Online Help text.
Conflict Resolution Notes:
• Except for first run synchronizations, the Conflict Resolution
setting is not normally needed to resolve data conflicts. In most
cases, Intellisync knows how to edit records to achieve
synchronization. Refer to “Synchronization and History Files” in
Chapter 4 for more information.
• Refer to “The Same Record Changed and Deleted Dialog” in
Chapter 4 for information on what happens if Intellisync discovers
a record that has been changed in one system and deleted in the
other since the last synchronization.
• Overlapping appointments are not treated as data conflicts during
synchronizations. (Note: Conflicts generated by repeating items
are not always detected during one-way data transfers.)
• Do not leave Last Name fields blank in address records. Since
Last Name fields are key fields, leaving them blank can generate
false data conflicts.
• If you don’t have a name to enter into an address record—for
example, if you have address data for a company, but you don’t
have a contact name—place some other value in the Last Name
field. For example, enter the company name in the Last Name
field as well as in the Company field. Or, if you have only a
contact’s first name, place the first name in the Last Name and the
First Name fields.
