Here are some tips for creating or changing Calendar events on your
Pocket PC OS device so that they sync back to your desktop as smoothly
as possible:
■ To create a Lotus Notes All Day Event, create an Appointment and
set Type to All Day.
■ To create a Lotus Notes Anniversary, create an Appointment and set
set Type to All Day and set Occurs to Every <month> <date>.
■ To create a Lotus Notes Appointment, create an Appointment with
no Attendees.
■ To create a Lotus Notes Meeting, create an Appointment and add
Contacts to the Attendees field.
■ To create a Reminder, create an Appointment with the Starts date/
time equal to the Ends date/time.
■ Remember that information in the on-device Location field never
updates any other fields in Lotus Notes when the event syncs back to
the Lotus Notes desktop; if this field contains information for
Rooms and Resources fields in Lotus Notes, all the information goes
into the Lotus Notes Location field.
■ Remember that information in the on-device Notes field never
updates any other fields in Lotus Notes when the event syncs back to
the Lotus Notes desktop; if this field contains information for
Attendees, Rooms, and Resources, all the information goes into the
Lotus Notes Description field.
■ When you accept a Lotus Notes invitation for a meeting, do not
delete the invitation from your Inbox — that will prevent the
Calendar entry from syncing to your devce.
Tip If you have your Calendar sync Action set to Synchronize the files and
you create or modify events on the device:
■ Any time you create appointments on your device, or modify or
cancel appointments synced from Lotus Notes, any invitees to the
appointment are not automatically notified when the information
syncs to Lotus Notes. To notify invitees, open the event in Lotus
Notes and click the Save and Send Invitiations button.
■ You can avoid many potential problems with repeating events by
never modifying the repeat rule for the series on your device.
■ Any events on the device that span midnight are truncated at
11:55PM when they sync back to Lotus Notes.
■ When editing the Status on repeating events on your device, make
changes only at the individual event level, not at the series level.
■ In a custom repeating series of events that repeat on consecutive
days, do not shift the date of each event in the series by one day —
one or more of the events will sync back to Lotus Notes with an
incorrect date.
