Customizing Hotsync Application Settings - 3Com III Handbook

Customizing HotSync Application Settings

For each application you can define a set of options that determines
how records are handled during synchronization. These options are
called a "conduit." By default, Palm Desktop synchronizes all files
between the Palm III organizer and the Palm Desktop. In general, you
should leave the settings to synchronize all files. The only reason you
might want to change these settings is to overwrite data on either your
Palm III organizer or Palm Desktop, or to avoid synchronizing a
particular type of file because you don't use it.
In addition to the Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad
and Expense application conduits, Palm Desktop includes System and
Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information
stored in your Palm III organizer, including Graffiti
ShortCuts. The Install conduit is used to install Palm-compatible
applications.
To customize HotSync application settings:
1. Click the
HotSync Manager menu.
Tip: You can also click the HotSync command on the Palm
Desktop menu bar to open the HotSync Manager menu.
2. Click Custom from the HotSync menu to open the Custom dialog.
3. Select the appropriate user name from the list at the top of the
dialog.
4. Click an application in the Conduit list to choose the conduit you
want to change.
5. Click the Change button to open the Change HotSync Action
dialog.
