To access these options go to System > Configuration > Dotdigital > Configuration and System > Configuration > DOTMAILER > Developer.


Import settings

Sync memory limit

Expand the drop-down menu and select No to use the system default memory or Yes to use the customer sync memory default.

Depending upon your site's configuration, you may not have either enough memory set in the PHP memory or too low a PHP timeout setting for our sync to work. As a default we use your site's default setting but selecting Yes sets the timeout as 7200 and the memory as 512MB.

Once happy with the limit size selected, select Save Config.

Data sync size

To adjust your data synchronisation limit size, expand the drop-down menu to select from a 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 or 500 limit per Insight data import. The smaller the limit size, the quicker the import can complete, but the less Insight data is imported in one go.

This limit is per website, so if you have four websites then a limit of 200 is actually 800.
