Truncated synchronization of data object instances

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media comprising computer-executable instructions for causing a remote computing system to perform operations to synchronize shared data object instances between the remote computing system and a client device for offline use at the client device, the operations comprising:

• retrieving synchronization configuration information, the synchronization configuration information comprising:
• a first synchronization rule specifying a first data object schema to which the first synchronization rule will apply, a first criterion to be applied in selecting which shared data object instances of the first data object schema to send to the client device during a synchronization task, and a first threshold specifying a maximum amount of shared data object instances of the first data object schema that may be sent to the client device during the synchronization task, wherein the first data object schema comprises a first plurality of data members, wherein respective shared data object instances of the first data object schema comprise values for the first plurality of data members as well as metadata associated with the shared data object instance, and wherein the first criterion is a particular value for one of the first plurality of data members;
• and
• a second synchronization rule specifying a second data object schema to which the second synchronization rule will apply, a second criterion to be applied in selecting which shared data object instances of the second data object schema to send to the client device during the synchronization task, and a second threshold specifying a maximum amount of shared data object instances of the second data object schema that may be sent to the client device during the synchronization task, wherein the second data object schema comprises a second plurality of data members, at least a portion of the second plurality of data members being different than the first plurality of data members, wherein respective shared data object instances of the second data object schema comprise values for the second plurality of data members as well as metadata associated with the shared data object instance;
• analyzing a plurality of shared data object instances of the first data object schema;
• determining which of the plurality of shared data object instances of the first data object schema meet the first criterion, including determining which of the plurality of shared data object instances of the first data object schema comprise said particular value for said one of the first plurality of data members;
• determining which of the plurality of shared data object instances of the second data object schema meet the second criterion;
• sending the shared data object instances of the first data object schema that meet the first criterion to the client device until the first threshold is met;
• and
• sending the shared data object instances of the second data object schema that meet the second criterion to the client device until the second threshold is met.
