Chapter 20 Performing HotSync
®
Operations
294
For example, suppose a sales organization wants to distribute two dozen
handhelds that all have a common company phone list, a set of memos, and several
key applications. A user profile can be created to install the common data before
the handhelds are distributed to the employees who will use them. Then when the
employees perform their first HotSync operation, the common data becomes part
of their individual data file.
NOTE
The handhelds that are synchronized with a user profile must be either new
ones that have never been synchronized or handhelds that have had their usernames
and data removed by a hard reset.
To create a user profile on a Windows computer:
1.
Open Palm Desktop software.
2.
From the Tools menu, select Users.
3.
Click Profiles.
4.
Click New.
5.
Enter a unique name for the profile, and click OK.
6.
Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each profile that you want to create, and then click
OK to return to Palm Desktop software.
7.
Select the profile from the User list, and create the data for the profile (such as a
company phone list).
