Chapter 5 - Synchronizing Ascendo Money
Ascendo Money for BlackBerry can be used with
Ascendo Money Desktop to combine the advantages of on-the-go data entry with
full screen financial planning. The BlackBerry and Desktop components of Ascendo
Money contain similar features. You can synchronize data between the two or use
them independently of each other.
To synchronize Ascendo Money between your
BlackBerry and Desktop, plug in the USB data cable that you use for
synchronizing contacts, start Ascendo Money on your BlackBerry and Desktop, then
click on the Synchronize button on the top right of the Ascendo Money Desktop
main window.
Ascendo Money supports two-way synchronization.
If you update data on your BlackBerry and desktop, then updates on your
BlackBerry will be copied to your desktop and vice-versa.
Section 5.1 - Conflict Resolution
In certain cases, you
may modify a transaction on your BlackBerry and your desktop with conflicting
values. Ascendo Money supports conflict resolution to resolve these situations.
To select the conflict resolution method you
want Ascendo Money to employ, click on the Ascendo Money Desktop Tools menu and
select Options from the sub-menu. There are three options for conflict
resolution. The default option is Manual. If Manual is selected then Ascendo
Money will display conflicting information and prompt you to decide how to
resolve the situation. Depending on the information, you may choose to overwrite
the information on your BlackBerry, desktop or maintain both versions.
There are two other options for resolving
conflicts, BlackBerry Wins or Desktop Wins. If you select BlackBerry Wins, then
whenever Ascendo Money detects a conflict, it will automatically overwrite the
version on the Desktop with the version on the BlackBerry. If you select Desktop
Wins, then whenever Ascendo Money detects a conflict, it will automatically
overwrite the version on the BlackBerry with the version on the Desktop.
