Review and Modify Data Synchronization Settings

As part of your setup, you need to review the data synchronization settings and make changes as needed.

Note: The actual synchronization is accomplished by processes you schedule in a separate step (see Run Sync Scheduled Processes). Selecting the options described here only enables the processes to do their jobs.

To review and modify your initial synchronization settings:

  1. Sign in to the Sales application as a setup user.
  2. Navigate to the Sync Configuration page. See How to Get to the Sync Configuration Page for more information.

  3. On the Sync Configuration page, select the options for appointments, contacts, tasks, and emails. For detailed explanation of these options, see Overview of the Sync Between Sales and Exchange and the related sync topics for each of the objects.

  4. Save your changes.

This table summarizes the sync areas and their purposes, along with where to find more information:
