Abstract

The subject matter discloses a system for adding a data item during a synchronization process, said system comprising a receiving (target) side electronic device having a database being compatible to a database of a sending (source) side, such that each data item has unique local and remote identifiers. The system comprises a control unit for assigning a local identifier and a remote identifier to the data item in the database of the receiving (target) side, such that the local identifier of the receiving (target) side is stored as the remote identifier of the sending (source) side and vice versa. After adding the data item, access to the data item stored in the database of the receiving (target) side, is enabled by receiving the remote identifier or the local identifier of the data item as stored in the database of the sending (source) side.
