Sybase Desktop manual Making generic changes to a sync filter

Chapter 5

Caution

Caution

■To override a default, enter the appropriate Lotus Notes field name next to the device field name.

■The Lotus Notes field name that you enter must be a valid field name in the database specified in the Lotus Notes Configuration section.

■You can enter an asterisk (*) to prevent a field from being mapped. If you enter an asterisk for the field name, the data will not synchronize in either direction for the field.

■Formulas can be used in Custom Field Mapping fields, but the device field data then can never sync back to Lotus Notes.

If you start to make a change in the Custom Field Mapping section of an application filter, you will be warned to sync with the old settings before making the change if all of the following are true:

■the application sync Action is not “Desktop overwrited handheld”

■you already have application data on your device

■you have a Palm OS device, or the Pocket PC application is Calendar or To Do List

Ignoring this warning may lead to loss of changes made in device data.

For details on Pylon’s default field mappings, see APPENDIX F., “Custom field mapping on Palm,” starting on page 215.

Making generic changes to a sync filter

If you wish to preserve the existing sync filter, make a copy of it first and then make changes to that copy. See “Making a copy of a sync filter” (page 72).

To make generic changes to a sync filter for a PIM application:

1.Display the list of Pylon filters in the Pylon Configuration Database.

For detailed instructions, see “Displaying the list of Pylon filters — Filters view of Pylon Configuration Database” (page 74).

2.Under the heading for the PIM application you are configuring, double-click a filter name.

For a description of the pre-defined filters that are available, see Table 4-3,“Pre-defined sync filter options,” on page 67.

The filter configuration document apears.
