Sync for Palm OS manual

4. HotSync Settings for Address Book

  (User Settings)

Sync for Palm OS(R) enables you to synchronize Address Book with your handheld. A Cybozu category is created in the handheld and address data is entered.

  1. Data To Be Synchronized

    Palm OS handheld

    • In the Address application of the handheld, all the address records registered under the Cybozu category will be synchronized to Address Book.
    • Any data not registered in the Cybozu category will not be uploaded to Address Book. Accordingly, you can choose which address records to be uploaded to Address Book.

    Cybozu Share360 Address Book

    • All address records in Address Book, except for those in the personal address book, will be synchronized to the handheld regardless of the groups.

    The default settings for synchronization are Last Name, First Name, Middle Name, Company, and Email. If you want to synchronize the other items, please set them up on the "Cybozu Sync Setting" in the conduit.

  2. Action Setting

    Set the action to be perfomed at the following dialog box.


    Action Setting

    Synchronize the data

    This is the most common option. The data modified in Share360 will be updated to the handheld, and vice versa. The priority is always on Share360 when conflicts occur between Share360 and the handheld.

    Please note that even if data is deleted in the handheld, the data is not deleted in Share360.

    Address Book overwrites handheld. (Data in the handheld will be deleted.)

    Select this option when you want to delete all data related to Share360 in the handheld and download the new data from Share360.

    Add/Delete/Change in the handheld will not be synchronized to Share360.

    Synchronizes the data that is not edited as well

    • If you uncheck this box - All added/edited data in Share360 from the last synchronization will be downloaded to the handheld. Other data that originally existed but was not updated will not be synchronized. Normally, it is unchecked.
    • If you check this box - Synchronize the corresponding items to the handheld. All updated data from the last synchronization are synchronized.
    • When to use - If you deleted data in the handheld by mistake, please check this box. Regardless of changes in the handheld, Share360 data will overwrite the data in the handheld.
    • You cannot specify the data to prioritize on the handheld or Share360 individually.

    Delete the data in handheld before synchronization

    • If you check the box, you will delete all address data in the Cybozu category of the handheld before overwriting the handheld data.
    • If you check the two boxes above, it is equivalent to Share360 Address Book overwrites the handheld in Sync .

    Handheld overwrites Address Book

    [Cybozu] category data in the handheld will be synchronized to Cybozu Share360.

    Add/Delete/Change in Share360 will not be synchronized to the handheld.

    Even if data is deleted in the handheld, the data is not eliminated in Share360. This feature is valuable when you want to keep Share360 data unchanged but add new data to the handheld.

    Synchronize the data that is not edited as well

    • If you uncheck this box - Added/changed data in the handheld from the last synchronization will be synchronized with Share360.
    • If you check this box - All address data in the Cybozu category of the handheld is synchronized to Share360. Changed data in Share360 from the last synchronization will be synchronized with the handheld. Deleted data in the handheld is not deleted from Share360.
    • When to use - If you delete or change data in Share360 by mistake, please check this box. The handheld data will overwrite Share360 data.
    • You cannot specify data to prioritize on the handheld or Share360 individually. If a required data setup from Share360 is nonexistent, it will not be synchronized.

    Do nothing

    If you select this option, Sync for Palm OS(R) does not perform a data synchronization with Address Book.

    Choose when you want to synchronize other conduits.

  3. Address Field Setting

    Set "Address Field" at the following dialog box.


    Address Field Setting

    In this setting, you can specify which address field in the Address application in the handheld corresponds to which property in Address Book. In the above example, the address properties are set as follows:

    How to setup

    • Choose a field from Field in Handheld.
    • Choose a property from the drop-down menu on the right.
    • You cannot assign one field in the handheld to multiple properties in Address Book, and vice versa.
    • The five default address fields in Address Book - Last Name, First Name, Middle Name, Company, and Email are not included in the list of the selectable properties, as they will be pre-assigned to corresponding fields of the handheld, except for Middle Name.
    • When you press the Reset button, the latest address properties in Address Book will be imported.
