Chapter 3 Using the Address Book and iCal Libraries 39
Bento Fields That Update the Address Book Application
The following fields in the Address Book library update information in the Address
Book application.
You can add other fields to your Address Book library records in Bento, but your
additional fields are not added to the Address Book application. (See
Chapter 7,
“Using Fields,” for information on adding fields.)
Conversely, any custom field labels you have defined in the Address Book application
are not displayed in the Address Book library.
Troubleshooting Address Book Updates
This section describes some common issues with displaying data from the Address
Book application.
1 Why don’t I see my Smart Groups from the Address Book application in Bento?
Bento does not display Address Book Smart Groups because the criteria used to
create the groups are not available to Bento.
1 Why don’t I see my Address Book library’s Smart Collections in the Address Book
application?
The criteria used to create Bento Smart Collections cannot be passed to the
Address Book application because the criteria may use fields that appear only in
Bento.
Other Address Book Considerations
1 When you create a Bento backup file, the data from the Address Book application is
not included in the Bento backup file. To back up the data from Address Book, use
the Address Book application.
If you add fields to the Address Book library, information from those additional
fields is included in the Bento backup file. See
Chapter 9, “Backing Up and Restoring
Information,” on page 87 for information on creating a Bento backup file.
