How to Synchronize Contacts from a SuperOffice Selection

Overview

Keep your SuperOffice contacts in sync by using a selection within SuperOffice.

Intended Audience

This article is intended for persons who are a user of Synchronizer.

How to

Keep in mind that only Static Selections may be used. When you have created a suitable selection in SuperOffice CRM, go to Synchronizer and log in with your SuperOffice credentials.

  • Click Edit Preferences.
  • In the SuperOffice User Preferences go to Person Synchronization.
  • Type the name of the Static Selection.
  • Save.

During the next synchronization run, the selected contacts will be synced.

Note: The Synchronizer admin can also set a default selection for all users. This is done in the profile.

  • Log in to Synchronizer
  • Click Manage Profile > Customize system > Show Settings (Next to SuperOffice CRM) > Person Synchronization

Next to Selections you can also Sync persons from your favourite company and your favourite contacts.

How to

  • Log in to Synchronizer

  • Click Manage Profile > Customize system > Show Settings (Next to SuperOffice CRM) > Person Synchronization

Here you see two settings; Contacts at favourite company and Favourite contacts.

  1. Contacts at favourite company will synchronize all contacts at companies which have been marked as favourites in SuperOffice. Note: Former employees will be ignored.

  2. Favourite contacts will synchronize all contacts which have themselves been marked as favourites in SuperOffice.

The settings can be combined in any way - both off; one or the other on; or both on. The Synchnonizer will ensure there is no duplication of favourite contacts at favourite companies or with persons in the selected static selections.
By default the selected contacts will be synchronized during housekeeping i.e. every 24 hours. This is in line with the existing static selections functionality.

The favourites will be synchronized at the next sync run if these settings are changed.
