Purging Records; Exchanging And Updating Data: Hotsync Operations - Palm IIIe Handbook

Purging records

Over time, as you use Date Book, To Do List, and Expense, you'll
accumulate records in these applications that have outlived their
usefulness. For example, events that occurred months ago remain in
the Date Book, and To Do List items that you marked as completed
remain in the list, as do Expense items.
All these outdated records take up memory on your organizer, so it's
a good idea to remove them by using Purge. If you think Date Book or
To Do List/Task List records might prove useful later, you can purge
them from your organizer and save them in an archive file.
Purging is also available in Mail. See Chapter 5 for more information.
Purging is not available in the Task List, Address Book or Memo Pad,
so delete outdated records from these applications.
To purge records:
1. Open the application, then tap the Menu icon
2. Tap Record, and then tap Purge.

If you chose to save a copy of the purged records, your organizer
transfers them to an archive file on your desktop the next time you
perform a HotSync operation.
Note: Purging does not happen automatically. You must tap the
command to make it happen.

Exchanging and updating data: HotSync operations

The HotSync process automatically synchronizes — that is, exchanges
and updates — data between your organizer and Franklin Planner
software. Changes you make on your organizer or Franklin Planner
software appear in both places after a HotSync operation. HotSync
