What the advanced fields on the template lines do
When you work with synchronization templates, the lines hold a set of advanced fields that give you more control over how data moves between companies. You find these fields on the template lines, and they let you decide both the order of synchronization and how specific fields are handled.
Sync sequence number controls the order of synchronization
The sync sequence number determines in which order data from the fields is synchronized. If you leave it at zero, which is the standard value, the synchronization happens in the order of the field ID.
If you want a specific field to synchronize in a particular order, you type in the sequence number you need. That number then dictates the sequence instead of the default field ID order.
Field data template code defines which template to use
The field data template code is where you set which template should be used for a given field. The template you point to needs to have a reference into the relation table number, otherwise it will not work as expected.
Information field marks fields that are sent but not owned
The information field is for fields that should be sent to a subscriber but should not be synchronized or owned by the master company. Use this when a subscriber needs to receive the data, but the master company is not the owner of that field.
Q&A
What happens if the sync sequence number is set to zero?
If the sync sequence number is zero, which is the standard value, the synchronization runs in the order of the field ID.
How do I synchronize fields in a specific order?
Type in the sequence number you want in the sync sequence number field. That number then determines the order instead of the default field ID order.
What does the field data template code require?
The field data template code lets you choose which template should be used for a field. The template you select needs to have a reference into the relation table number.
What is the information field used for?
The information field is used for fields that should be sent to a subscriber but not synchronized or owned by the master company.
