Server Data Update Rules and Conflict Logging

The rules governing when server data is updated and how conflicts are logged are:

Server Entity Field or Attribute Being Updated Laptop Import File Entity File Entity Field or Attribute Action
Present Present and same

None

Present and different

No update

Message to log

Absent

Retain server data

Absent Present

Update server with laptop imported data

Absent

None

 

You can see from the above that if you change an attribute on an entity it won't change the server data. But if you add an attribute then the server data will have the additional attribute data added to it.
