Every field from the ***Azure Virtual Machines*** synchronizer entry is described below. The entry can be found in Remote Desktop Manager Windows under ***New entry*** – ***Synchronizer.***
| SETTINGS | DESCRIPTION |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name** | Entry name in Remote Desktop Manager. |
| **Folder** | Which Remote Desktop Manager folder the entry will be in. |
| **Credentials** | Read more on [***Entry credentials*** options](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/commands/edit/entry-credentials-options/). |
| **Synchronize automatically** | The Remote Desktop Manager entry will synchronize automatically. |
### General tab
| SETTINGS | DESCRIPTION |

| **Username** | The username of your Azure account. |
| **Subscription ID** | The subscription identifier of the Azure account. Can be found under ***Home*** – ***Subscriptions*** in your Azure portal. |
| **Tenant ID** | The tenant identifier of the Azure account. Can be found in ***Home*** – ***Tenant properties*** in your Azure portal. |
| **Select resource groups** | By selecting a resource group, you can synchronize all the VMs contained in it in a single action. |
| **Template** | Select a pre-existing [template](https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/concepts/intermediate-concepts/templates/) to apply to the current entry. |
| **Destination folder** | Set a destination folder to store the synchronized entries. |
### Fields tab
Choose which fields will always be synchronized, and which will not. For example, you could choose not to synchronize the description, because you want to edit it yourself.
| SETTINGS | DESCRIPTION |
| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Field** | Select which fields will always be synchronized, and which will not. |
| **Session name prefix** | A prefix for the entry that will be created through the synchronizer. |
| **Session name suffix** | A suffix for the entry that will be created through the synchronizer. |
| **Folders** | Select which folders will always be synchronized, and which will not. Select Group by resource group appends the Resource name value to the destination folder path.
For example:
- Destination folder: FolderA
- Resource name value: ResourceBWhen this option is enabled, the entry is synchronized to FolderA\ResourceB.

### Advanced tab
| SETTINGS | DESCRIPTION |

| **Silent mode** | This option disables error dialogs (useful when the synchronizer runs automatically at set intervals) as well as the **Synch result** window that pops up when synchronizations are completed. |
| **Update folder only for newly discovered items** | When checked, this option allows you to only add the VMs that have not been synchronized already. |
| **Duplicate check** | Duplicate checks prevent the importation of entries with the same type and host. Choose between:
- Root: Check for duplicates within the whole workspace.
- Destination folder: Check for duplicates only within the Remote Desktop Manager destination folder or subfolder.
|
| **Action on entry mismatch** | Choose between:
- None: Do nothing.
- Delete: Delete that entry.
- Move to: Move to selected destination folder.
- Make expired: Mark that entry as expired (expiration message can be set up).
