    18 APPENDIX APPENDIX Frequently Asked Questions How does the synchronization work? During a synchronization, Intellisync compares records in your device to records in your PC application, and makes whatever changes are necessary in each system to ensure that they both contain the same information. If a record has been added to one system and not the other, that record is added to the incomplete system.

    Note: If you select Ignore, as recommended, you will be prompted to resolve the conflict again the next time you run synchronization. If this is not acceptable, you can highlight the original (non-shortened) text in the Conflict Resolution dialog box and choose Update. Note, however, that Update will overwrite the edit that caused the conflict in the first place.
  • Page 26 20 APPENDIX Filter A statement that can be applied to a synchronization to restrict the records that are included in the operation. First Run Synchronization The first synchronization of a particular set of data. A first run synchronization is different from subsequent synchronization of the same set of data because no history file exists.
