-> If tables in your solution aren't absolutely dependent on each other, don't sync them as portals on a single sync layout. When you use portals on your sync layout, GoZync sends every portal record whenever the parent is modified. So if you have a patient and patient-visits, for example, having patient-visits as a portal on patients means we send *every* visit each time the patient or any visit changes. While portals are great for tables that MUST go together (like an invoice and it's line items) you'll get a faster sync in this patients-visits example if vists are their own sync layout.

-> Don't zync the whole file (all the tables) every time. Rather, use GoZync's API scripts to sync specific tables. This will let you give users buttons to just pull down those tables that change most often, and let them run their other syncs less often. The script to call is "Zync It - Public API - ( TOName ) { Action ; RecordID }" in GoZyncMobile. Comments at the head of that script will tell you how to pass parameters to it.

!! What can I do to make Zyncs faster?

There are actually a number of things you can do to speed up the zync.

-> Fewer fields. Even with [[field level merge]] on, the fewer fields on your zync layouts, the faster it works. This is especially true if you're doing [[custom field mapping]].

-> Don't do any [[custom field mapping]]. Even if the mapping isn't in the TO you're zyncing, we still check the TO for custom mapping.

-> Turn [[field level merge]] on if you have photos. This will prevent photos from being sent when they didn't change. This alone can speed things up dramatically.

-> Turn [[field level merge]] on for wide records: the more fields you have, the more of an impact field level merge makes.

-> Turn off [[field level merge]] for narrow records (just a few fields). It may slow things down to use field level merge as it can take us longer to check the fields changed than to just package the whole record. And remember, we're only sending modified records anyway. This may be something to experiment with, using the times in the zync log as an guide.

-> Don't [[round trip]] unless you have to. When you round trip, the hosted inbox is processed using the iPad's resources (CPU). Your users may have a more satisfying experience pushing data up, having a server side script process it, then reconnecting later to pull their data down.

-> Zync fewer photos and videos.
