| Field | Summary |

Source system
The system that is defined as the source for this service (e.g. Shopify). When this service runs, data is pulled from this system.
Environment
When a connector is added, you can choose whether it is to be used in a live environment, or for testing (also known as staging).
The environment is set at the connector level and cannot be changed here. If you need to use a different environment than the one specified here, make sure that a connector exists with the required environment setting and add a new service to use it.
Page size
The number of records to be pulled from the source system at a time. Typically, this value should be left as per the default setting.
Maximum attempts
The number of times that the service will retry pushing a record if it fails to sync for any reason.
Time zone
Primarily used for time-based filters (e.g. syncing orders created after a given date/time). Patchworks uses UTC but a specific time zone can be applied here if needed.
