If you don't see a speed increase, double check that you have spelled the TOs name correctly, or take a look at the last zynced package in GoZyncMobile (after a successful sync) to see if any of the IDs from the table you're trying to turn off are in the package between the <ids></ids> tags.

GoZync will pass deletes down to the local file, deleting records from your iPhone / iPad that are no longer in the hosted file. These records are also deleted when records on the host no longer "belong to you" (i.e. no longer match your found set critter).

Normally this is exactly how you want things to work. But, in very large tables the overhead ofthis can slow things down when you pull records down to your local file. GoZync will build a list of all the IDs that should be on your iPad ''every'' time you pull: whether records we changed or not.
So if your workflow is more static for some tables--you're not always pulling just "today's" orders, etc.--you may want to turn this behavior off and delete records from the iPad on your own.
Thisarticle shows you how to do that.

Normally, this is exactly how you want things to work. But, in very large tables the overhead of managing deletes can slow things when you pull records down to your local file. GoZync will build a list of all the record IDs that should be on your iPad ''every'' time you pull: it does this if records were changed or not.
So, if your workflow is more static for some tables--you're not always pulling just "today's" orders, etc.--you may want to turn this behavior off and delete records from the iPad on your own.
This is an easy mod, and this article shows you how to do it.

--> Turning auto-deletes off will really speed up this pull because you can simply have a script on the iPad that finds records older than 3 months and deletes them. Better yet, since there is no penalty for finding zero records when searching on an indexed field, you can run this iPad's delete script every day.

!! Scenarios
Here are some examples of when you may want to turn this off. And remember, you can turn this off file-wide, or just for individual tables.
-> '''Example: My Appointments for Today'''
--> You're pulling just the appointments each of your service techs have each morning. GoZync's auto delete feature should be left on, since you want GoZync to delete those appointments no longer assigned to this technician and those that have been rescheduled for another day.
--> But you may want to turn this on for the 10k record price list table you're pulling. Items on the price list aren't deleted that often and you can set a deleted flag instead and then have a script in the iPad app the finds any records flagged for deletion and deletes them.
-> '''Example: Pricing History for Customers'''
--> You're pulling the 3 month pricing history for each customer. There are tens of thousands of records and you only want to keep records from the last 3 months on the iPad.
--> Turning auto-deletes off will really speed up this pull because you can simply have a script on the iPad that finds records older than 3 months and deletes them. Better yet, since there is no penalty for finding zero records when searching on an indexed field, you can run this iPad's delete script every day.
