Category Sync is not used with the Calendar application on Palm. In versions of Palm OS before 5.2, Pylon uses PylonSelect instead of categories for multiple Calendars. In Palm OS 5.2 and later, Pylon only supports syncing of one Calendar database. Pylon only supports syncing a single To Do database on all versions of Palm OS.

Categories are handled similarly in both Lotus Notes and in Pocket PC OS applications — both support zero or more categories. Palm OS applications support only zero or one categories; when syncing from Lotus Notes to a Palm device, only the first category listed in Notes syncs to the device.

Category values in records will sync normally to the device unless the Category Sync field has a value or multiple filters are configured for an application. If this field has a value, the records for this filter will have the Category Sync value and not the records’ Category field value when synced to the device. The Category field value will remain in Notes, however. For example, if a record in Lotus Notes has a Category value of “Travel” and the Category Sync value in the filter is “Calendar A,” the Category value on the device after sync will be “Calendar A.”. In Notes, the Category value will remain “Travel.”

If a Notes document is associated with two or more Categories in Lotus Notes, your Category Sync entry is compared to the first Notes Category to determine if the item should be included in a sync.

On Palm OS devices, Category names are truncated to 15 characters

—make sure your Category names in Lotus Notes do not exceed 15 characters in length if you are using a Palm OS device.

■Private Record: The feature refers to records that you mark as Private. Click the drop-down arrow to display a Keyword list with choices.

-Sync Private Items - syncs records marked as private just like records that are not marked as private — this is the default

-Encrypt Private Items - syncs records marked as private, but encrypt them first

-Do not synchronize - Private records that had not been synced, before “Do not synchronize” was set, now will not sync to the other side. If private records from either Lotus Notes or the device have been synced to the other side (by using the “Sync Private Items” setting), the “Do not syncrhonize” setting will remove the private records from the non-originating side. If the private value for any synced record (using “Sync Private Items”) is changed, and the setting is changed to “Do not synchronize,” the private field value will be synced on the first sync; on the second sync the record will then be removed from the non-originating side, if applicable.

■For example: record A is created in Notes and synced to the device, it is not marked private. On the device the record is marked private. The private setting is changed from Sync to Do not sync. The first sync recordA in notes will now also be marked private, recordA is now "in sync" in Notes and on device. During
