Limitations, caveats, and known problems with this release
- The palm organizer does not have different time zones. Make sure the calendar application time zone corresponds to the palm organizer's.
- The palm organizer does not have different time zones. Make sure the calendar application time zone corresponds to the palm organizer's.
- You cannot synchronize the palm organizer's repeating Events. You can, however, synchronize calendar server Repeating Entries.
- If you change a timed Event to an untimed Event, or vice versa, on your palm organizer, the change will not appear in the calendar application.
- It is recommended that you only synchronize the palm organizer with your on-line Agenda. Synchronizing with the off-line Agenda can (and usually does) cause duplicate Entries. See Appendix A of the CorporateSync 2.1 User Guide for details.
- You cannot HotSync Address Book Entries when the calendar application is open on your PC.
- Deleting all Address Book Entries on your PC can delete all Address Book information on your palm device after synchronizing.
- Renaming the Address Book on your palm device can delete all current Address Book Entries after synchronizing.
- You can only HotSync one Address Book.
- If using CorporateTime/OpenTime 3.4, you can only HotSync Entries and Tasks and in on-line mode only.
- CorporateSync currently only fully supports English-language synchronization.
- CorporateSync is unable to present a list of possible
matches for duplicated names. To avoid this problem, enter as much unique user
information as possible (e.g. organization unit, etc.).
