Merging customized forms with base-level forms

When synchronizing forms using the Merge customized forms with base-level forms option, for each customized version of a form in the Target database, FormSync integrates (or prompts you to integrate) specific revisions contained in the new vendor version with the customized version of the form. FormSync then replaces old base-level versions with new base-level versions.

This is the default option.

Before synchronization

Basic form, new version

After synchronization

After default merge

Results

  • The old base-level vendor version in the Target database is removed.
  • The new base-level vendor version replaces the old version in the Target database.
  • The customized version is kept in the Target database and incorporates both the presynchronization customization and the revisions from the new base-level vendor version.
  • The new vendor version has the Print button and the original caption Employees. The customized version has the new Print button and keeps the custom caption Associates.
