What are the User 1, User 2, User 3, and User 4 fields on the New Address screen?
These fields are custom fields where you can add information about your contacts, such as spouse name or nickname. You can set up your BlackBerry® Desktop Software to synchronize with these custom fields in your desktop email program.
You can only synchronize the information in a custom field with a text field in your desktop email program. For example, you cannot add a contact’s birthday in a custom field and synchronize it with your desktop email program. The birthday field is a date field in your desktop email program, not a text field.
To change the field name for a custom field, when creating or editing a contact, click the trackwheel. Click Change Field Name.
See the BlackBerry Desktop Software Online Help for more information about synchronizing custom fields with fields in your desktop email program.
Why does the Add Custom Phone Tune option not appear?
The Add Custom Phone Tune option does not appear in the menu if a custom phone tune has already been added for the contact. A Calls From profile exception appears in the profiles list for contacts with a custom phone tune.
