It is normal to have a few errors on the first sync: fields that may exist in one file and not the other are a common issue. But soon you'll be syncing error free and can then move on to wire up additional tables or start refining your [[downloading found sets | filters]].

!! Turning on Testing Mode
If you have more than a hundred records to sync, you may want to set Testing Mode to "ON" n the upper right of the dashboard layout of GoZyncHosted.
''Testing Mode was introduced in [[VersionHistory | version]] 3.171''
Testing Mode restricts the sync to consider just the last 5 records in your table as having changed since the last sync. This can make troubleshooting much quicker as you don't have to wait for long syncs (such as after hitting "reset" in GoZyncMobile).

!! Filtering
If you have many hundreds of records to sync you may want to filter down your found set so you only have a couple dozen records in each sync. This will sync really fast and let you run thought a lot of tests in less time.
You can learn more about filtering here: [[downloading found sets]].

!! Testing your first sync
Once you've completed the [[integration]] for one table, you can test your sync. While you'll eventually want to test his from your iPhone, iPad, or laptop (offline) to your host/server, you can start testing right now, in FileMaker Pro, with all the files opened by the same copy of Pro.
