welcome page, the first page of the Scheduled Synchronization Wizard allows you to
specify the connection, specify the items to synchronize, and whether you want the
computer to automatically connect if you are not connected when the scheduled time
for synchronization arrives. The second page of the wizard is the Select The Time And
Day You Want The Synchronization To Start page. It allows you to configure the starting
time and date for the synchronization. You can also configure the frequency of the
synchronization, which can be set for every day, every weekday, or at a specified interval
measured in days. On the third page of the wizard, you assign a name to this scheduled
synchronization, and on the final page, you review your settings.
