Marketcircle KB .: Daylite 3.x .: Synchronization .: How does Daylite handle database synchronization conflicts? Is there a conflict dialog (where the user can see the conflicting information and decide which one is correct) or does the most recently added data always over-write the older data?

How does Daylite handle database synchronization conflicts? Is there a conflict dialog (where the user can see the conflicting information and decide which one is correct) or does the most recently added data always over-write the older data?

Consider the following 3 scenarios:

SCENARIO 1
  • User A and User B are logged into the online database.
  • User A and User B input different information (eg. work telephone number) for the same contact at the same time.
Cannot edit record at the same time.

SCENARIO 2

  • User A and User B are logged into the online database.
  • User A takes his database offline.
  • User A and User B input different information (eg. work telephone number) for the same contact.
  • User A takes his database online again (or synchronises it).
Server takes priority (always wins) if the same record is edited.

SCENARIO 3

  • User A and User B are logged into the online database.
  • User A and User B both take their databases offline.
  • User B inputs information (eg. work telephone number) for a contact.
  • After User B has input the information in their offline database, but before they have taken their database online again, User A inputs different information (eg. work telephone number) for the same contact.
  • User A takes his database online again (or synchronises it).
  • User B takes his database online again (or synchronises it).
Whoever syncs first will see their change become the 'first priority' or "server wins" change.
