Quick Start Chapter 2: Quick Start Using Intellisync: A Tutorial Make sure you read "The HotSync® Manager" in Chapter 1 before beginning this tutorial. This tutorial is for users who want to start synchronizing immediately. For more complete information on synchronization-including details on all the Intellisync settings and processes that affect synchronization-refer to "The Intellisync Dialogs," and "Special Topics" in Chapters 3 and 4. See Chapter 3 for complete information on Intellisync settings. Synchronizing Data Synchronizing the data stored in your Palm OS® handheld with data on your desktop is basically a one-button operation. When you press the HotSync button on the handheld cradle, synchronization starts immediately. How does Intellisync know what to synchronize? That information is stored in a set of Intellisync dialogs. These dialogs specify the data you want to synchronize, and contain special settings affecting the operation. Once you have settings in these dialogs configured the way you want them, you need never access them again unless you want to change specifications. Note: For simplicity, this tutorial guides you through the process of configuring and running a synchronization. However, these instructions apply to importing and exporting as well. The only difference between configuring a synchronization and setting up a oneway transfer of data is in the selection of the operation in the Choose Translator dialog. For information specific to one-way data transfers, see "Importing and Exporting Data" in Chapter 4. Page 9
