    PIM data translation
    You can translate only one file at a time. To translate
    multiple PIM data files, you need to repeat the Translation
    operation for each file separately.
    To translate appointment data
    1. Double-click the HP PIM Translation Utility icon to
    start the program.
    2. In the Welcome screen, click Appointments.
    3. Specify the appointment data file to translate in the
    Open File dialog box that appears, and then click
    OK. If the file you specify is not a PIM database file
    of the appropriate type, you will get an error mes-
    sage.
    4. In the Appointment Book Translation Note screen,
    click OK. The Data Translation Progress screen
    appears, showing the progress of current translation
    activity.
    5. When the translation is complete, a message ap-
    pears. Click OK to return to the Welcome screen.
    Limitation on appointment translation
    Although the Appointment Book applications on the
    HP 100LX/200LX palmtop PCs and HP OmniGo 100/120
    organizers and the Calendar application on the HP Palmtop
    PC support daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly repeated
    events, the Schedule+ application supports only daily and
    yearly repeated events. Because all translation goes through
    Schedule+, there is no direct mapping from earlier
    HP Palmtop products to Schedule+ for repeating weekly and
    monthly events. As long as you do not edit imported repeat-
    ing weekly or monthly events in Schedule+ before you
    synchronize them with the HP Palmtop PC, they will
    translate correctly into repeating events on the palmtop PC.
    If, however, you edit them in Schedule+, they lose their
    weekly/monthly attribute and are treated as single events.

    To translate a Phone Book data file
    1. Double-click the HP PIM Translation Utility icon to
    start the program.
    2. In the Welcome screen, click Phone Book.
    3. In the Open File dialog box, specify the Phone Book
    data file to translate, and then click OK.
    4. In the Phone Book Translation Field Map window,
    select mapping options. For more information, see
    the following sections.
    5. When translation is complete, a message appears.
    Click OK to return to the Welcome screen.
    Phone Book field mapping
    The HP PIM Translation Utility attempts to map the fields
    in your Phone Book data file to standard fields in a Sched-
    ule+ record. As long as your Phone Book fields have standard
    names (that is, you have not modified the Phone Book
    database field structure), the translation is straightforward.
    The suggested mapping appears in a table in the Phone Book
    Translation Field Map screen:
    •The left column shows the names of fields extracted from
    the Phone Book data file. (Only the fields that have data
    are included.)
    •The right column shows the names of Schedule+ fields.
    •An arrow in the center column indicates that the data in
    a Phone Book field in the left column will be copied to the
    corresponding Schedule+ field in the right column. Note
    that multiple Phone Book fields (for example, Address1
    and Address2) can be mapped to the same Schedule+ field
    (for example, Business address). No arrow in the center
    column indicates that there is no mapping and, therefore,
    the data will not be copied. You can add or modify the
    suggested mappings before translating the data. For
    example, if you have customized the name of a Phone 
    						
    							Chapter 3  |  Connecting to your desktop PC  |  57
    Book field so that the HP PIM Translation Utility does
    not know how to map it, you can define a mapping for it
    yourself.
    Name mapping
    The Name field in the Phone Book data file can be mapped in
    three ways in Schedule+:
    •If the name in the Phone Book data file is entered as
    Name1, Name2 [Name3] (that is, with a comma after the
    first word), it is always mapped to the two name fields in
    Schedule+ with Name1 = Last Name and Name2
    [Name3] = First Name.
    •If the name in the Phone Book data file does not have a
    comma after the first word, you can choose one of two
    options for its mapping:
    •Last name/First name— (default) Name1 [Name3]
    Name2 maps to Name1  = Last Name and [Name3]
    Name2 = First Name.
    •First name/Last name—Name1 [Name3] Name2
    maps to Name1 [Name3] = First Name and Name2
    = Last Name.
    In all cases, Last name is mapped to a single word, with any
    additional words such as [Name3] becoming part of First
    name.)
    Mapping additions
    If a field appears in the left column with no mapping (that
    is, no arrow in the center column) select a field name from
    the drop-down list of the Schedule+ field immediately to the
    right of the field whose mapping you want to define. The
    field name appears in the appropriate cell in the right
    column and a mapping arrow appears in the center column. 
    						
    							58  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
    Mapping changes
    If a field in the left column is mapped to the wrong field in
    the right column, change the mapping by selecting a differ-
    ent Schedule+ field name from the drop-down list for the
    corresponding cell in the right column.
    Mapping removal
    If a field in the left column should not be mapped to any-
    thing, click None from the drop-down list for the corre-
    sponding cell in the right column. The None option is not
    available for the Name field.
    Translation status review
    After each translation is finished, whether it completed
    successfully or was interrupted, the results are written onto
    the Status screen. Click the Status button on the Welcome
    screen to see the history of any translations begun during
    the current execution of the HP PIM Translation Utility.

     Staying organized | 4
    Your Hewlett-Packard Jornada 680 or 680e Handheld PC
    comes with a variety of programs designed to help you stay
    organized. Use Microsoft Pocket Outlook  and
    HP Jornada viewer to manage your contacts, tasks, and
    calendar while you are away from your office. When you
    return, you can synchronize your HP Jornada with your
    desktop or notebook PC to ensure that the Pocket Outlook
    databases on your HP Jornada are always up to date with
    the Microsoft Outlook or Schedule+ data on your desktop.
    Pocket Outlook also lets you set alarms and reminders so
    that you never forget an appointment or meeting. And, if
    you want a personal reminder, you can record voice memos
    to yourself with Microsoft Voice Recorder.
    In this chapter you will find information about and basic
    procedures for:
    •Pocket Outlook
    •HP viewer
    •HP quick pad
    •Voice Recorder
    For more information on these and other programs that
    come with your HP Jornada, see online Help.

    Using Microsoft Pocket Outlook
    Your HP Jornada comes with Microsoft Pocket Outlook,
    which includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Inbox. Using
    Microsoft Windows CE Services, you can synchronize
    information on your HP Jornada with information in
    Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft
    Exchange on your desktop computer. Each time you syn-
    chronize, Windows CE Services compares the changes you
    made to data on your device and desktop PC and updates
    both computers.
    With Inbox, you can send and receive e-mail messages, either
    by synchronizing with the mail program on your desktop PC
    (either Outlook or Exchange) or by connecting directly to
    your mail server through an Internet or network account.
