3-4 Performing advanced configurations and
searching devices
PRM Synchronization Tool includes advanced configurations and search options.
 Performing advanced configurations
The Advanced Configurations option appears in the Synchronize and Restore activities. This
dialog box allows you to select the data to be included in the data transfer. During the data
transfer, device details and device status are automatically included. Other data such as history
messages, memos, documents, parameter sets, and DTM data can be included or removed
manually from the transfer.
When you include maintenance data like history messages, memos, and documents in the data
transfer, PRM Synchronization Tool will transfer this information for all selected devices. On the
other hand, you can configure Parameter sets and DTM data for each selected device.
The following table summarizes the device data that can or cannot be configured for each
activity:

NOTE
On the first time you open PRM Synchronization Tool, it uses the default Advanced
Configuration settings. However, when you apply changes in the Advanced Configuration
dialog box, PRM Synchronization Tool will save these settings for reuse in the next operation.
To use the default Advanced Configurations settings again, click [Default].
Also, the saved Advanced Configuration setting for Synchronize activity is different from the
Advanced Configuration setting for Restore activity. Each activity can have different Advanced
Configuration settings.
