Filtering Global Objects During Synchronization

Specifying Global Objects by Type

You can synchronize one or more of these types of global object:

• Component classes
• Menus
• Property class extensions
• Scripts
• Strings
• Validators
• Variables
• Images
• Themes
• Web User Controls
• Web User Control Elements

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, Form Sync 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, Form Sync does not process objects of that type. In this case, Form Sync ignores customized objects and does not replace base versions in the Target configuration with base versions from the Source configuration.

Specifying Global Objects by Name

You can restrict the processing of global objects to only those objects that match filter criteria based on object name. Use the field for a selected global object 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%.
