Creating a user profile
If you need to configure several Palm OS
®
communicators with specific information (such as a
company phone list) before distributing them to their actual users, you can create a user profile
to load the data into a communicator without associating that data with a user name. The User
Profile feature is designed only for the first-time HotSync operation, before you assign a User ID
to a particular communicator.
To create a user profile:
1. Open Palm Desktop software.
2. From the Tools menu, choose Users.
3. Click Profiles.
4. Click New.
5. Enter a unique name for the profile, and click OK.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each profile that you want to create, and then click OK to return to
Palm Desktop software.
7. Select the profile from the User list and create the data for the profile (e.g., company phone
list, etc.).
