About categories You create categories in which to group your tasks. You can also narrow the tasks displayed in the task list based on categories. Category names are not case sensitive. More than one category can apply to a task. If you use Lotus Notes® as your desktop email program, you can apply more than one category to a task on your handheld, but only one category will synchronize with the task in your desktop email program. Categories are shared between the address book, the task list, and the memos list. Therefore, category changes made in the task list are also made in the address book and the memos list. Create a category 1. In the task list, click the trackwheel. 2. Click Filter. 3. Click the trackwheel. 4. Click New. 5. Type a name for the category. 45
