To keep your data in ChurchTools up to date, you can use the Sync module to synchronize your database directly with DaviP, the church\u2019s registration system. If, for example, an address changes there, the change will be transferred to your ChurchTools. <\/p>\n\n

The connection to DaviP is a read-only connection. This means that data is synchronized only to ChurchTools and not in the opposite direction. Changes made in ChurchTools are therefore not synchronized back to DaviP. <\/p>\n\n

You can only sync contact and home information.<\/p>\n\n

Records with lock flags are generally not synchronized.<\/p>\n\n
