Palm Z22 manual Using user profiles

CHAPTER 1 Setting Up Your Handheld and Your Computer

Using user profiles

SKIP Only IT managers may need to use user profiles for their company. If you are not an IT manager, you can skip this section.

Suppose your sales organization wants to distribute two dozen handhelds that all have a common company phone list, a set of memos, and several key applications. A user profile can be created to install this information before the handhelds are distributed to employees. When the employees synchronize for the first time, this common information becomes part of their user-specific information.

A user profile enables you to install the same information onto multiple handhelds before each handheld is individualized with a unique username and user-specific information. A handheld that has a user profile installed can be given to anyone, because the handheld is not yet identified by a unique username. When the new user synchronizes for the first time, he or she gives the handheld a unique username.

NOTE Handhelds that are synchronized with a user profile must be either new handhelds that have never been synchronized or handhelds that have had their usernames and information removed by a hard reset.
