Global Objects Tab Options

This tab specifies how Form Sync is to handle global objects in the Target database that have been customized. Options include:

Options Description/Comments
Keep customizations When selected, specifies that Form Sync is to keep all your global object customizations. This means that global objects are not processed at all during synchronization.  
Remove customizations When selected, specifies that Form Sync is to delete customized global objects and load the new base-level versions.

Unless you also select the Prompt before removal option, this means that all base-level customizations are lost during synchronization.

Prompt before removal When selected, specifies that Form Sync is to prompt you whether to remove or keep each customized version of a global object. This option is enabled only if the Remove customizations option is selected.

This option allows you to selectively decide which customized versions of forms and objects to keep and which to remove and replace.

Filter When selected, tells  Form Sync to process the global objects for the specified type.

If you select the check box for a type of object, Form Sync keeps customized objects of the type in the Target configuration or removes them from it, depending on whether you select Keep customizations or Remove customizations. In both cases, FormSync replaces base versions of objects of the selected type in the Target configuration with base versions from the Source configuration.

If you clear the check box for a type of object, FormSync does not process objects of that type. In this case, FormSync ignores customized objects and does not replace base versions in the Target configuration with base versions from the Source configuration.

You can restrict the processing of global objects to only those objects that match filter criteria based on object name. Specify a filter in the drop-down list next to a selected type:

  • To process all objects, clear the field.
  • To process a single object, select a name from the list.
  • To process multiple objects with similar names, use the percent sign (%) as a wildcard character.

For example, to process all objects whose names begin with Acct, specify Acct%.
