Categorizing Records; Notes About Categories - Palm IIIe Handbook

Categorizing records

Categorize records in the Address Book, Task List, To Do List, Memo
Pad, and Expense applications so that they are grouped logically and
are easy to review. (You can also categorize applications. See "Using
the Applications Launcher" in Chapter 3 for more information.)
When you create a record, your organizer automatically places it in
the category that is currently displayed. If the category is All, your
organizer assigns it to the Unfiled category. You can leave an entry as
Unfiled or assign it to a category at any time.

Notes about Categories

You can assign up to 15 unique categories per Palm IIIe module that
supports categories. For example, you can have 15 unique categories
for the Address Book and 15 unique categories for the Task List. The
categories do not have to the be same. Palm IIIe categories will
synchronize with Franklin Planner software categories. However, Franklin
Planner software supports unlimited categories per module, and
categories synchronize between Franklin Planner software and the
Palm IIIe according to the order they were entered. If you try to
synchronize more than 15 categories in Franklin Planner software
with the Palm IIIe, only the first 15 categories entered in Franklin
Planner software will be synchronized with the Palm IIIe.
Length of Categories
In addition, Palm IIIe categories can be no longer than 15 characters in
length. However, Franklin Planner software supports category names
longer than 15 characters. If you are using categories in Franklin
Planner software of longer than 15 characters, those categories will not
be duplicated on the Palm IIIe, and those tasks or address book entries
or memos will come across to the Palm IIIe in the "Unfiled" category.
This does not affect the categorization in Franklin Planner software. If you
then make changes to "Unfiled" tasks or address book entries or
memos on the Palm IIIe, they will synchronize back to Franklin
Planner software in the proper category.
If you want to synchronize categories in both Franklin Planner software
and the Palm IIIe, we recommend the following:
Limit yourself to 15 categories per module.
Limit yourself to category names of 15 characters or less.
This will permit seamless category synchronization between the Palm
IIIe and Franklin Planner software.
