This section describes the conversions that occur when transferring data between the calendar application and your Palm organizer's Date Book, Address Book and To Do List. Apart from the special conversion rules that apply to specific fields, some general rules apply:
If the user changes a field on the Palm organizer which he or she does not have the right to change in the calendar application (e.g. changing the time of an Event the user does not own), the change is rejected and the affected field is copied from the calendar application back onto the Palm organizer.
The following table shows how calendar application Entries are converted to Palm organizer Date Book items and vice versa.
The following table shows how calendar application Tasks are converted to To Do items on the Palm organizer and vice versa.
Address book Entries in the calendar application are categorized as business Entries and personal Entries on your Palm organizer. If a the calendar application Entry has a business address only (i.e. no home address), that Entry is considered a business Entry. Conversely, if the Entry has a home address only, it is considered a personal Entry. If an Entry has both addresses, its category is taken from the "Default" value in CS Setup. Finally, if an Entry does not have any addresses, it is considered an "unknown" Entry.
The following table shows how a calendar application Address Book Entry is converted to a Palm organizer address and vice versa.
Telephone fields on the Palm organizer are allocated according to a fixed order. For each telephone number present in the calendar application Entry, a telephone field on the Palm organizer is allocated (up to a maximum to five) and given a corresponding label.
For business and personal Entries, the order of allocation is as follows:
Calendar Application Telephone # | Palm Label |

Business1 |

Palm organizer telephone numbers are transferred to the calendar application depending on (1) their position and (2) their label. For example, the second telephone with a label of "Mobile" will end up in the "Mobile 2" field in the calendar application. The complete list of possibilities is as follows:
