Siebel CRM Desktop for IBM Notes Administration Guide > Controlling Synchronization > Controlling Synchronization Time, Day, and Size > Configuring Siebel CRM Desktop to Disregard Erroneous Data That Users ModifyYou can configure Siebel CRM Desktop to synchronize an object in only one direction. Using one-way synchronization can be useful to restore object types that the user modifies or removes in IBM Notes or to not allow the user to modify an object type. For example, employees or positions. One-way synchronization can also reduce the time required to synchronize. The synchronization engine can detect these modifications and refresh the object in IBM Notes without causing a collision. CRM Desktop does the following work for each object that it synchronizes in only one direction:
This configuration allows Siebel CRM Desktop to disregard erroneous data that the user enters or erroneous modifications that users make to data so that it does not synchronize these modifications to the Siebel Server. To do this, you configure an object to synchronize in only one direction. The example in this topic configures the Employee object to synchronize in only one direction. A user might use some IBM Notes features that compromise the validation rules that CRM Desktop uses. For example, CRM Desktop cannot control how the user uses the native All Fields tab that IBM Notes displays on IBM Notes objects. This tab is a predefined IBM Notes feature that CRM Desktop cannot disable or intercept. A user might open a Contact record, click the All Fields tab, remove the values from the First Name and Last Name fields, and then save this record even though CRM Desktop requires these names.
