Mapping Attachment Fields

In addition to mapping regular fields between the two endpoints, you can also map attachment fields between the endpoints. When you synchronize an attachment field, both the attachment and its description are synchronized.

Consider the following guidelines when mapping attachment fields:

You can create only one mapping between attachment fields per link.

The Synchronizer identifies attachments by their file name, and not by their content. Therefore:

If you change the file name of an attachment, even if you do not change its content, the Synchronizer determines that the original attachment has been deleted and a new attachment added, and synchronizes the attachment fields accordingly.

If you have different attachments in each of the endpoints, but they have the same file name, the Synchronizer is not able to distinguish between them and considers them as the same attachment.
