Selecting criteria for Sync Sets

You can use the Sync Set Criteria dialog box to select the criteria for a Sync Set. From this dialog box, you select contact fields, operators, field values, and define the And/Or settings for building the query that selects the contact records to be included in the Sync Set.

In addition to creating a new query, you can open an existing query and save a query.

  1. From the Select Contacts screen, click Define Sync Set Criteria, and then click Next.

  2. From the Create or Edit Sync Set Criteria screen, click Create Criteria.

If you want to use an existing query, click the Open tool and select the saved query. The query criteria details load into the screen. You can make changes to the criteria.

The query criteria appears in the columns in the middle pane of the dialog box.

  4. When you finish selecting criteria, you can do the following:

  • To save the query, click the Save tool and give the query a name. Queries are saved in the Queries folder and have an .qry extension.
