Customizing HotSync application settings
For each application, you can define a set of options that determines
how records are handled during synchronization. These options are
called a “conduit.” By default, a HotSync operation synchronizes all
files between the handheld and Palm Desktop software.
In general, you should leave the settings to synchronize all files. The
only reason you might want to change these settings is to overwrite
data on either your handheld or Palm Desktop software, or to avoid
synchronizing a particular type of file because you don’t use it.
In addition to the conduits for Date Book, Address Book, To Do List,
Memo Pad, and Expense, Palm Desktop software includes System and
Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information
stored on your handheld, including Graffiti
®
ShortCuts. The Install
conduit installs applications on your handheld.
To customize HotSync application settings:
1. Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray
(bottom-right corner of the taskbar).
Tip: You can also click the HotSync command on the Palm
Desktop software menu bar.
2. From the HotSync Manager menu, choose Custom.
3. Select the appropriate user name from the list.
4. Select an application in the Conduit list.
5. Click Change.
