Changing how information is imported
When you import database information to your Newton device, the
information is transferred using a
field map,
a template to determine how
fields in your computer’s application are mapped to fields in your Newton
application.
In most cases, the default field map works fine for importing information, but
you can change the field map to meet your specific needs — if, for example,
you have custom fields in your computer’s application.
In addition to changing the field map, you can choose a date range for
calendar information, specify how conflicting information is handled, and set
application-specific options. See Chapter 10, “Setting Advanced Options,” for
more information.
