122 Chapter 8 : Contacts, Calendar, and other personal information
Use a third-party sync solution: If you want to use a desktop app to store
your calendar events, you can use a third-party solution (sold separately) to
sync your calendar events directly with your computer (see
palm.com/
sync-solutions ).
Export calendar events using the Data Transfer Assistant: When you
export calendar events from desktop software, you select which account to
assign those events to. Look for those events in the account you select (see
Export data from a desktop organizer on your computer ).
Layered calendars
Suppose you use the calendar in both Microsoft Exchange and in Google. If
you set up both of those accounts to sync with your phone, your phone’s
Calendar app shows the events from both in a single view—a layered
calendar with events that are color-coded to identify which provider they
come from. Individual events are stored separately with your different
providers; the events are just assembled in one view on your phone for your
convenience.
If you change an event, the change is made in the appropriate calendar.
You can also look at the events of just one calendar at a time.
