The Synchronisation tab
You use this tab to configure synchronisation between the selected file and an external file or folder, which is specified on this tab. If synchronisation is with a folder, when exported from the system, the versions of the internal file become files within the folder, and, when imported into the system, the files within the folder are uploaded as versions of the internal file.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Synchronise | A check box that you select to indicate that file synchronisation is required. |
| Synchronisation type | The synchronization type to be used for the file. You can select one of the following options:
|
| Path | The path to the external file or folder. |
| Login | The login to be used to access the file. If you synchronise files with an FTP server, you should use a login without @, /, or \ characters in synchronisation settings. Otherwise Visma Net will not be able to connect to the server. |

| Synchronise folder content | The check box you select to indicate that synchronisation with the folder (specified by the path) is required. This option is available only for the Share folder option. |
| Import file validation mask | The validation regexp mask to be used to import the folder content into the system. If you specify a mask, the system validates the file name (without the path) according to specified regexp. The regexp syntax complies with.Net Regular Expressions, and is case-insensitive and multi line. The field becomes available when you specify synchronisation type and path. |
| Export file naming format | The format of the file name when the file is exported from the system. |
| Last import date | The date when an import was last performed. |
