Categorizing records
Categorize records in Address Book, To Do List, Note Pad, Memo Pad, and
Expense so that they are grouped logically and are easy to review. (You can also
categorize applications. See “Categorizing applications” in Chapter 4 for more
information.)
When you create a record, your handheld automatically places it in the category
that is currently displayed. If the category is All, your handheld assigns it to the
Unfiled category. You can leave an entry as Unfiled or assign it to a category at any
time.
System-defined and user-defined categories
By default, your handheld includes system-defined categories, such as All and
Unfiled, and user-defined categories, such as Business and Personal.
You cannot modify the system-defined categories, but you can rename and delete
the user-defined categories. In addition, you can create your own user-defined
categories. You can have a maximum of 15 user-defined categories in each
application.
