What does the Synchronisation Process do? The synchronisation process will check Outlook for the Contacts to be synchronised. If the Contact record exists in The Union Square system but not Outlook, the Contact will be added to Outlook. If the Contact record exists in Outlook but not The Union Square system, a record cannot be created in The Union Square system. If the Contact record exists in The Union Square system and Outlook, data can be passed between the two. I.e. if a mobile number is missing in the Union Square system Contact record but has been added to the Outlook Contact, the synchronisation process will add the number to the Union Square system Contact record. If the Contact record exists in The Union Square system and Outlook but the two records contain conflicting data, the last record that was updated will take precedence. 2012 Union Square Software Ltd Page 11 of 14
