You have the following options for resolving conflicts:

  • Consolidated   First in wins: uploaded updates that conflict are discarded.

  • Remote   Last in wins: uploaded updates are always applied.

The column should exist on both the consolidated and remote databases and not be the same column used for timestamp-based downloads. To work, your remote and consolidated databases must use the same time zone (preferably UTC) and their clocks must be synchronized.
