Synchronizing with external data (File Link)
The File Link feature allows you to import Address Book and Memo Pad information on your CLIÉ handheld
from a separate external file such as a company phone list. HotSync
®
Manager stores the data in a separate
category on your Palm™
Desktop for CLIÉ software and your CLIÉ handheld. You can set the File Link feature
to check for changes to the external file when you perform a HotSync
®
operation.
With File Link, you can import data stored in any of the following file formats:
Comma-delimited (*.csv)
Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software’s Memo Pad archive (*.mpa)
Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ software’s Address Book archive (*.aba)
Text (*.txt)
For information on how to set up File Link, see the Palm™ Desktop for CLIÉ online help.
