Incremental linked sync filter ensures that linked filters on entities are checked during incremental synchronization. Without enabling it, the only initial filter for downloading records from server is the one checking whether the entity records were changed since last synchronization. | Incremental linked sync filter ensures that linked filters on entities are checked during incremental synchronization.

You can enable the parameter [[Mark as Parent Pointer]] in the properties of a lookup field to ensure that both parent and child records are available. However, this setting is only effective if the lookup has only a single lookup target (also displayed on the [[ | You can enable the parameter [[Mark as Parent Pointer]] in the properties of a lookup field to ensure that both parent and child records are available. However, this setting is only effective if the lookup has only a single lookup target (also displayed on the [[Data_model_in_mobile_apps#Managing_fields|properties pane for entity fields]]). When you use this option, the sync filter of the parent entity is also used for synchronization (application uses this flag and runs the parent sync filter in the code, parent sync filter will not be copied to the child entity sync filter). See [[Sync Filter examples with child entities]] for a more detailed explanation. | ||
