In the pages of PalmPower and PalmPower’s Enterprise Edition, we’ve talked a lot about synchronizing your Palm handheld with Outlook. In fact, we’ve compiled all our great content on that subject into the Ultimate Outlook Solutions Guide Bundle. In it, you’ll find everything you ever wanted to know about using Outlook with your Palm OS handheld. This Solutions Guide presents seven articles from PalmPower Magazine and PalmPower’s Enterprise Edition, along with some special tips. Each article has been updated and re-edited and can be provided to you via email in Adobe Acrobat format and. For more information, visit http://www.zatz.com/store/outlooksolutionguideorder.html.
Naturally, many of the articles focus on a piece of software called PocketMirror from Chapura, Inc. (at http://www.chapura.com/pm_professional.php). PocketMirror is designed to help you store and organize your information in Microsoft Outlook in a way that’s most convenient for you and synchronize it with your Palm OS handheld. It also lets you access and update Outlook information on your Palm OS handheld, even when away from your office.
So you might say the folks at Chapura are experts in the field of Palm OS/Outlook synchronization, so when they announced a new software program designed to let you manage virtually all your Outlook contact information through your Palm OS handheld, we were interested. Designed as an alternative for the Palm OS Address Book application, KeyContacts (at http://www.chapura.com/keycontacts.php) is intended to give you more complete access to Outlook fields, categories, and folders.
.H1 Support for multiple fields, categories and folders
If you use KeyContacts instead of the Palm OS Address Book, you’ll be able to synchronize 40 additional Contacts fields, including all phone numbers, all addresses, full name, job title, assistant’s name, birthday, anniversary, spouse and children’s names, etc. KeyContacts also supports over 250 categories, and categories and folders in KeyContacts will automatically match previously set categories and folders on the desktop, so you shouldn’t have to change the way you organize your information.
You can store a contact in multiple categories, and category names may contain over 250 characters. If you’re already a PocketMirror user, category links you established in PocketMirror Professional can be transferred into KeyContacts.
You can synchronize folders in Outlook with folders on the handheld as well, so you shouldn’t have to do folder-to-category linking. You’ll be able to transfer an unlimited number of Outlook Contacts folders, including subfolders, and public folders, to KeyContacts on the handheld. The initial synchronization process includes a wizard that will let you add as many folders to the handheld as you need. Smart synchronization will recognize when KeyContacts folders are on your handheld and you are synchronizing for the first time with a second PC. You can then choose which handheld folders you want to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook on the second PC.
.H1 Customization, search, and security
There are a variety of ways you can customize KeyContacts to suit you better. You can view phone numbers in standard or detailed list format, and you can customize colors for the background, text, banding, and the selection on the handheld. To immediately organize new contacts, you can choose the folder and category for each beamed contact you receive into KeyContacts. Also, because you can choose to keep contact information in both KeyContacts and the Address Book, you can choose to receive beamed contacts and business cards into either application.
You can look up various contact information using the first name, last name, company name, and File As fields as a search criteria. KeyContacts has a "Smart Look Up" feature that can find contacts by searching in fields that are not necessarily displayed.
If you’re interested in trying out KeyContacts for yourself, a demo is available. Information on how to get it can be found at http://www.chapura.com.
