Synchronizing entities and alarms from AMAG Symmetry - AMAG Symmetry 3.1

When you first add the plugin, you need choose which entities to synchronize.

1. From the Config Tool home page, open the Plugins task.
2. In the Plugins task, select the AMAG Symmetry plugin from the entity browser, and then click the Synchronization tab.
3. Set Automatically synchronize when connected to ON, so that synchronization starts every time the AMAG Symmetry proxy service establishes a connection with Symmetry SMS. This option is ON by default.
4. Choose the entities and properties to import.

   You can also choose to enable or disable synchronization of Custom fields and Pictures if the Enabled toggle is On.
