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, Palm Desktop synchronizes all files between pdQ
smartphone and the Palm Desktop. 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 pdQ smartphone or Palm Desktop, or
to avoid synchronizing a particular type of file because you don’t use it.
In addition to the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad and
Expense application conduits, Palm Desktop includes System and Install
conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information stored in pdQ
smartphone, including Graffiti® software ShortCuts. The Install conduit is
used to install pdQ smartphone-compatible applications.
To customize HotSync application settings:
1 Click in the Windows System Tray to open the HotSync Manager
menu.
You can also click the HotSync command on the Palm Desktop
menu bar to open the HotSync Manager menu.
2 Click Custom from the HotSync menu to open the Custom dialog.
3 Select the appropriate user name from the list at the top of the dialog.
4 Click an application in the Conduit list to choose the conduit you want
to change.
5 Click Change to open the Change HotSync Action dialog.
