Creating a user profile

Creating a user profile

You can create a user profile to load data into an console without associating that data with a user name. This feature lets System Administrators configure several consoles with specific information (such as a company phone list) before distributing them to their actual users.

The User Profile feature is designed only for the first-time HotSync operation, before you assign a User ID to a particular console.

1.Open Palm Desktop software.

2.From the Tools menu, choose Users.

3.Click Profiles.

4.Click New. Enter a unique name for the profile and click OK.

5.Click OK to return to Palm Desktop software.

6.Select the profile from the User list and create the data for the profile (for example, company phone list, and so on).
