Configure Tag Link Synchronizer

The behavior of Tag Link Synchronizer can be configured on the Edit Configuration tabs.

You may want to consider whether using an import package would better meet your needs before using the Tag Link Synchronizer tool.

After import, the import date is recorded in a text file and will be used in the next import. The name of the text file is Lastimport-<ConfigurationFileName>.log. The file will be located in the same folder as the application.

ClosedEdit Configuration Tab

The options that are saved in the configuration file are summarized in the following table.
