■Category Sync: Categories are a device feature that Pylon uses to organize application events. Each device application supports up to fifteen categories. Each category name is limited to fifteen characters. In order to be able to sync more than one custom database, each custom database must have a unique category name.

■Private Record (Palm OS only): The feature refers to records on the Palm device that are marked as Private. Click the drop-down arrow to display a Keyword list with Sync Private Items choices.

Configure the Palm device Security application to show or hide Private Records. For instructions on how to mark records as private on Palm OS, see “Marking the record private” (page 174).

Selecting “Do not synchronize” from the Keyword list for Private Record will stop new or edited records that are marked as private from syncing from your Palm OS device to your desktop. However, changes made to private records on the desktop still will still be updated to your Palm OS device.
