Mapping fields for synchronization
For all four PIM applications, Synchronize is intelligent enough to know what
information — such as names, phone numbers, and addresses in Contacts —
corresponds to information in Outlook. A specific bit of information, or
attribute, is a field. For instance, the value of a home-phone-number field in
Contacts needs to be mapped to the corresponding field in Outlook so that
information is transferred correctly.
But not all fields on the desktop side exist on the smart phone (and vice versa).
For example, a Nick Name field doesn't exist in Storm Contacts but is available
in Exchange (Outlook) Address Book. In some instances, Synchronize provides
an alternative field and lets you decide whether to map it.
If you ever need to change the default mapping, you can. The interface is the
same for all PIM applications. We use Contacts as our example in the follow-
ing steps as we illustrate how to map and unmap fields:
1. From BlackBerry Desktop Manager, click the Synchronize link.
The Synchronize screen appears.
2. Click the Synchronization link.
3. Click the Synchronize button.
The PIM configuration screen appears (refer to Figure 15-6, earlier in this
chapter).
4. Select the Address Book check box.
The Advanced button is enabled.
5. Click the Advanced button.
The Advanced screen opens, as shown in Figure 15-10.
6. Click the Map Fields button.
The Map Fields screen for the Address Book/Contacts application
appears; see Figure 15-11. To map or unmap, click the arrow icons.
