Using field maps
You can create a new field map for transferring information.
About field maps
Application programs store information in categories, called
fields,
that
describe the type of information entered. For example, an entry in an Address
Book application might have several fields: a Name field, an Address field, a
Phone field, a Job Title field, and so on.
Different applications may have different names for these fields. For example,
one application might have a Work Address field and another might have an
Office field. Despite the different names, the type of information entered in
these fields is essentially the same.
Some applications have fields that don’t exist in another application. For
example, a Fax Number or E-mail Address field might appear in one
application, but not another.
When you import, export, or synchronize information on your Newton device,
the information is transferred using a default
field map.
This field map
determines how information in your Newton application is mapped to
information in your computer’s application. It also lists which fields are
transferred and which are not.
In most cases, the default field map will work fine for transferring
information. However, you can change the default field map to meet your
specific needs.
