ActiveSync — the Advanced dialog box

Note: Besides login data items, the Advanced button is included in this dialog. It can be

used to set optional parameters. The dialog allows to set measures to be taken in case

that a collision occurs during the synchronization (see figure

4.33

).

Collisions might occur when some folders to be synchronized have been changed both on

the server and on the device since the last synchronization. According to the parameters

set here, ActiveSync will either beat the change performed on the server with the one

applied on the device or the other way round. By default, the server beats the device. It is

recommended to keep these settings.

Once the settings are done, click on Next.

5.

The following dialog provides a list of all folder types which can be synchronized (see

figure

4.34

). Check only those folders that will be synchronized and leave unchecked or

uncheck the others.

The Settings button also included in the dialog is active only upon clicking on the Calendar

or E-mail folder and it opens a dialog where synchronization parameters for calendar

and email folders can be set. The Contacts and Tasks folders do not contain any other

parameters.

Calendar Sync Options

Selection of the Calendar folder and a consequent clicking on Settings opens a dialog

with synchronization settings (see figure

4.35

). The dialog includes a menu where it

can be set how old data will be synchronized.

New events will be synchronized without exception. However, to shorten the time

needed for synchronization, it si possible to set the maximum age of events to be

synchronized (it is not necessary to synchronize old data where the information will

not be needed any longer).
