Factors That Determine Task Record Synchronization

This topic outlines the factors that determine whether or not a task record is synchronized. Assuming that the administrator has enabled synchronization for a relevant user, then whether or not a task record for the user is synchronized depends on the following factors:

• The synchronization level that the administrator sets (Full Sync, Export Only, or None).

• The value of the following configuration parameters, which the administrator also sets:

  • ExtractStartDate (in MM/DD/YYYY format)

  • ExtractStartDateFormat

    If a task item has a Due date that is earlier than the value of the ExtractStartDate parameter, then that item is not synchronized. For additional information on setting the extract start date, see Setting Extract Start Dates for Users.

• Whether or not the administrator has enabled the Full Sync Opt-in feature or the Ignore private records feature for Microsoft Outlook task records. For information on these features, see About Using the Opt-in Feature and About the Ignore Private Records Feature.

• Whether or not the administrator has enabled the Inbound Activity Filtering option. For additional information, see About Inbound Activity Filtering.

• The value of the Display In field for each individual task record. (SSSE synchronizes task records for which the value of the Display In field is To Do and Activities.)

The following section describes the synchronization behavior that occurs when the administrator has disabled Allow Record Deletions in the PIM Domains list record for the Exchange Task domain.
