Changing last-used settings

Each time you use Zaurus Application Partner, it remembers your settings.   When you synchronize, import, or export, Zaurus Application Partner will remember the applications and translators you used and will apply them during your next transfer.

Mapping Schedule+ and Zaurus To Do Done Field

The Zaurus Application Partner default map for Schedule+ and Zaurus To Do, links the Zaurus Done field with Schedule+ Done.  You also can map the Schedule+ Percentage Complete field to some Zaurus field.  If you do this you should be aware that, when exporting data to Schedule+, the value of the Done field will determine the value of the Percentage Complete field (0% or 100%).


Storing Zaurus Contact File IDs in Schedule+

The Zaurus has three Contact and three Data Files.  However, Schedule+ has only one Contact file. In order for Zaurus Application Partner to properly synchronize Schedule+ data with your Zaurus,  it must keep track of the source of Zaurus Contact/Data File data (Contact 1, Contact 2, etc.).  Zaurus Application Partner does this by creating a Contact/Data File ID (C1, C2, C3, D1, D2, D3)  in one of the Schedule+ Contacts fields.

The Schedule+ Contact field may also contain data.  Zaurus Application Partner will place a separator between the existing data and the Contact ID, for example “C1; My user1 information”.

In addition, if you Export, Zaurus Application Partner will also keep track of the source of the Zaurus data.  However, you cannot change the Schedule+ field where the Contact ID is stored from the Export screens.  Zaurus Application Partner will use either the default Schedule+ field (User1) or will use your settings set during a previous synchronization.

Storing Zaurus Contact File IDs in ACT! 2.x

The Zaurus has three Contact and three Data Files.  However, ACT! has only one Contact file. In order for Zaurus Application Partner to properly synchronize ACT! data with your Zaurus,  it must keep track of the source of Zaurus Contact/Data File data (Contact 1, Contact 2, etc.).  Zaurus Application Partner does this by creating a Contact/Data File ID (C1, C2, C3, D1, D2, D3)  in one of the ACT! Contacts fields.

The ACT! Contact field may also contain data.  Zaurus Application Partner will place a separator between the existing data and the Contact ID, for example “C1; My user1 information”.

In addition, if you Export, Zaurus Application Partner will also keep track of the source of the Zaurus data.  However, you cannot change the ACT! field where the Contact ID is stored from the Export screens.  Zaurus Application Partner will use either the default ACT! field (User1) or will use your settings set during a previous synchronization


Exporting and Importing Birthdays/Anniversaries to and from Schedule+

When exporting from Birthdays/Anniversaries, Zaurus Application Partner will export the data to Schedule+’s Events.

When importing to Birthdays/Anniversaries, Zaurus Application Partner will import the data from Schedule+’s Annual Events and Events.
