Syncing additional application databases or views

Table 5-1

Total number of databases/views supported for each application

Pylon Conduit and Pylon Pro support additional application databases for most applications. The additional databases or views may be ones you have set up for yourself on your desktop, or they may belong to another Notes user who has delegated administrative access rights to you. Table 5-1shows the total number of databases supported for each PIM application on Palm OS and Pocket PC OS.

	Total number of databases/views supported
Application
	Palm OS	Pocket PC OS
Mail	3	1
Calendar	5*	5
Address Book	5	5
To Do	1	5
Memo Pad	5	0
Expense	5	0
Custom Databases	20	20

*Newer Palm OS devices (palmOne devices with Palm OS 5.2.1 or later) support only one Calendar database. Note that application names differ slightly on different devices — see Table 4-1, “Application names on different device platforms,” on page 63.

This section provides instructions for setting up the syncing of additional application databases. For instructions on setting up additional custom databases with Pylon Pro, see the chapters in “Syncing custom databases (Pylon Pro only)” (page 131).

The basic tasks required to sync one or more additional application database are:

■Make sure you have specified a unique Category Sync name in the filter used by the first application database.

■Create a new filter for the additional application database or view and specify a unique Category Sync name in that filter.

■Enable the additional application database or view with initial sync Action of “Desktop overwrites handheld.”

■Sync your device.

■Change the sync Action on the additional application database or view to Synchronize the Files.
