# How to add an order to a connection?

If you have connected another system to your ChurchTools, you create one or more jobs for this connection, which you configure so that only the data with the properties you have selected (e.g. first/last name, age, ...) are synchronized.

In an order, you define what exactly is to be synchronized and for whom. You do this by

- Selecting *actions* (e.g. importing people),
- *filtering* (e.g. pastors) and
- Selecting *properties* (e.g. first name and surname).

If you create several orders, you can synchronize the systems with different actions, filters and properties.

**Note**

For your order, you can only select the properties that you have previously assigned to each other as property pairs at connection level. We explain how to make the assignment [here](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/churchtools-modules/configure-connections/10-assign-properties/).

## 1. call up connection and add order

Use the +*Add* sync job button to create a new task and give it a name.

## 2. add and save order

You then select whether you want to synchronize *persons*, *transactions*, *accounts*, *cost centers*, *account groups*, *classes of account* or *account types* with this order:

When you *save*, the new order is added and you will see an overview of the order.

You then configure your job and specify what is to be synchronized and for whom. We explain how to do this [here](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/churchtools-modules/auftraege-konfigurieren/10-configure-connection/).
