Use filters to synchronize records between Customer Engagement (on-premises) and Exchange
Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) uses online synchronization filters to determine which records to synchronize between Customer Engagement (on-premises) and Exchange (using server-side synchronization). You can modify the existing online synchronization filters or create new filters to synchronize certain types of records. You can also delete, deactivate, or activate filters.
Email is not included in the synchronization filters because email is controlled by when the email is created in Customer Engagement (on-premises), whether the user is on the recipient list or not.
Create or modify online synchronization filters
In the web app, in the upper-right corner of the screen, click the Settings button
> Options.In the Set Personal Options dialog box, click the Synchronization tab.
Under Synchronize Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement apps items with Outlook or Exchange, click the filters link.
Customer Engagement (on-premises) displays the Synchronization Settings for Outlook or Exchange dialog box with the User Filters tab selected. You can use this tab to create or edit a filter, or to delete, activate, or deactivate a filter.
Note
