Using Intellisync: A Tutorial

This tutorial is for users who want to start synchronizing immediately.
For more complete information on synchronization—including details
on all the Intellisync settings and processes that affect
synchronization—refer to “The Intellisync Dialogs,” and “Special
Topics” in Chapters 3 and 4.

Synchronizing Data

Synchronizing the data stored in your Palm

OS®

handheld with data on

your desktop is basically a one-button operation. When you press the
HotSync button on the handheld cradle, synchronization starts
immediately.

How does Intellisync know what to synchronize? That information is
stored in a set of Intellisync dialogs. These dialogs specify the data you
want to synchronize, and contain special settings affecting the
operation.

Once you have settings in these dialogs configured the way you want
them, you need never access them again unless you want to change
specifications.

Note: For simplicity, this tutorial guides you through the process of
configuring and running a synchronization. However, these
instructions apply to importing and exporting as well. The only
difference between configuring a synchronization and setting up a one-
way transfer of data is in the selection of the operation in the Choose
Translator dialog. For information specific to one-way data transfers,
see “Importing and Exporting Data” in Chapter 4.

Make sure you read
“The HotSync

®

Manager” in Chapter
1 before beginning
this tutorial.

See Chapter 3 for
complete information
on Intellisync settings.
