The General tab contains the following properties:

Synchronization Property Sheet Action Tab

The Action tab contains the following properties:

Property

Description

Action (text box)

Specifies an action to be evaluated to determine how the synchronization should be traversed. You can enter any appropriate information in this box, as well as open, insert and save text files.
