The Intellisync Dialogs
Page 23
The use of key fields in detecting data conflicts is premised on the
following: When key fields in a handheld record match the key fields
in a PC application record, other mapped fields in the two records
should also match. For example, if both of your systems have an
address record for Ron Smith, the values in Title, Company, etc.
should match. If they do not, a data conflict exists.
Letter case counts in key fields. If you have a record for Diana
VanWinkle in your PC application, and one for Diana Vanwinkle in
your handheld, Intellisync does not recognize the names as equivalent.
Synchronization causes both records to occur in each system.
See Key Fields in Help for information on which fields are key fields
for each data type.
The occasions when the Conflict Resolution setting is needed to
resolve data conflicts are as follows:
• First run synchronizations.
• When new records have been added to each system since the last
synchronization, and those records conflict. (For example, if you
have added an address record for Brian Sawyer to each of your
systems, but the City fields don’t match.)
• When mapped fields have been edited in both systems since the
last synchronization, but edited differently. (For example, if you
have updated Brian’s home phone number in both records, but
made a typographical error in one of them.)
Conflict Resolution options work as follows:
• Add All Conflicting Items: Creates a new record in each system
containing mapped values from the record in the other system.
• Ignore All Conflicting Items: Makes no change to either system.
• Notify me when conflicts occur: Displays a dialog box each time
a data conflict occurs, letting you decide which data to use on a
case by case basis. (If you run a remote synchronization with this
setting selected, the “Add” option is used in its place.)
• Handheld Wins: Uses handheld data when conflicts occur. Use
this option when you’re confident that your handheld contains the
most accurate information.
