What to do when an object conflict occurs

The admin user must choose to either keep the FortiManager version of the conflicted object, or replace it with the FortiGate version.

If this is the first device that an import is being performed on in this ADOM, it is reasonable to choose the FortiGate version of the object if the syntax or value of this object is typical for other devices that will be imported.

If other devices have already been imported, choose the FortiManager version of the object so that existing managed devices are not negatively affected.
