  15. In the Configuration selection dialog, specify how you want to select elements. The options Express and User-defined are available for selection.

    • Express

      In the first step, you can specify which elements are to be synchronized. Then you can specify the synchronization settings for all selected elements in a separate dialog.

    • User-defined

      With the user-defined configuration, the selection of elements and the synchronization settings are displayed in a dialog. You can define the synchronization settings for each element separately. This can lead to circular connections, especially if the synchronization job is executed several times in succession.

      The selection of the elements and the synchronization settings are described in the following sections. 1. When you have made all the settings, select Finish. 1. The job is created. The job details are displayed in the Server synchronization module.

  • If you click in one of the fields with the job details, only the dialog opens in which you can edit the corresponding detail.

To copy the job, select Duplicate job and edit the duplicate as desired.
