Testing The filter

Keep it Simple

One of the nicest things about GoZync is that you can get quite far testing your Filtering Script without having to run a sync. In fact, since it is just a FileMaker find, you can write a simple script that does that find and run it completely separate from anything else. 

Steps 

  1. Forget about syncing. Think only about the found set you want to GoZync to Sync.
  2. Write a script that performs the find to give you the found set you want.
  3. Test the script by running it.
  4. If you get the right found set, then you are done. Copy and paste the Find Steps into the Filter script in the correct branch.
  5. If it didn't work, repeat steps 2 through 4 until it does work.

Other notes

If your filter depends on data that will be passed up from the Mobile device just hard code those values into a variable.  When you copy and paste the find into the filter script just leave out the hard-coded script steps.
