Chapter 3 • Creating Synchronization Links

6You can now define how data fields and field values are mapped between the endpoints. For more information, see “Creating Field Mappings” on page 66.

Setting Event Options for Requirements Synchronization

After you define basic properties for the link, set scheduling and filter options, and create requirement type mappings, you define which type of synchronization is performed on each endpoint.

For each requirement type mapping, one endpoint is selected as master for the synchronization of records.

The event options for the master and non-master endpoints are summarized in the following table:
