INFORMATION MANAGER FOR WINDOWS CE
Information Manager includes three components:
• Calendar: for scheduling appointments and events
• Contacts: for keeping phone numbers and addresses
• Tasks: for keeping track of your to-do lists
If you are using a Microsoft Information Manager such as S or Outlook
on your desktop computer, you can transfer information between the above pro-
grams on your palmtop PC with the desktop Information Manager. This allows
you to have the most up-to-date, accurate information on both computers.
Creating the initial database
If you already have calendar, contact, and task information stored on another
computer, you have the following options for transferring the information to your
palmtop PC:
• If you have calendar, contact, and task information stored in a Microsoft
Information Manager (e.g. S 7.0a or Outlook) in your desktop
computer, you can synchronize your palmtop PC using the Mobile Devices.
• If the information is stored in another palmtop PC, you can transfer individual
contact cards using infrared communication.
• If the information is stored in HP100LX/200LX palmtop PCs or HP OmniGo
100/120 organizers, you can transfer your Appointment Book and Phone
Book data to your palmtop PC using the appropriate HP connectivity solution
together with the HP PIM Translation Utility which is included in the
HP CD-ROM.
Working in the software programs
The Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks programs share a similar structure: each has
both a list view and individual card views.
• List views. Each program has one or more list views. Each list view displays
one row of the most important information for each entry. In some cases, you
can make changes in the list view.
