What’s New The 3.5 Upgrade includes new features that are designed to help you work faster and more efficiently, and to provide easier access to important information. The features include: ■ Displaying Agenda view to see appointments, untimed events and To Do items in one screen. ■ Masking private records so a placeholder marks where they appear in the list. ■ Duplicating Address Book entries for entering multiple records. ■ Completing fields automatically. ■ Updating future repeating events.
New View: Agenda Your Date Book lists all your appointments and untimed events and your To Do list stores all the things you need to do, and you typically switch between these applications to list all those items for any given day. With the new Agenda View, you can see all your current events and To Do items at the same time. Working in Agenda View Agenda View shows you your untimed events, appointments, and To Do items in one screen.
What changed? Date Book Views In previous versions of Date Book, you only had Day, Week, and Month views. Now you can use the application button or view icons to display the new Agenda View. To cycle through Day, Week, Month, and Agenda Views: ■ Press the Date Book application button repeatedly to cycle through the Day, Week, Month, and Agenda Views. Date Book button ■ Tap the appropriate view button in the lower-left corner of Date Book.
New Ways to Work with Records Many of the enhancements included in the 3.5 Upgrade improve your ability to work with records. We have incorporated new functionality and updated existing functionality to help you create, update, and manipulate your records. Setting address record security In Address Book, you have always been able to add security to selected records so they are completely visible, or totally hidden from view.
To mask all private records: 1. Tap the Applications icon . 2. Tap Security. 3. Tap the Current Privacy pick list and select Mask Records. Tap Mask Records 4. Tap OK to confirm that you want to mask private records. Duplicating addresses In Address Book, if you wanted to create records for two or more people working for the same company or living at the same address, you previously had to enter all the same information repeatedly to create each record.
Automatically completing address fields One feature of Expense that many users appreciate is the automatic fill feature. It lets you select an expense type by writing the first letter of an expense type in the Graffiti® writing area. For example, if you write the letter “T,” it enters the “Taxi” expense type. Writing “T” and then “E” enters “Telephone” which is the first expense type beginning with the letters “TE.” What changed? Now the same feature is available in Address Book.
Updating events In Date Book it has always been easy to create a repeating event. However, once you created a repeating event, you only had the choice of deleting the currently selected event or deleting all connected repeating events, you did not have the ability to change a repeating event. What changed? A new button (Future) was added to the Repeating Event dialog box, so you can now also modify or delete the current and future events within a group of repeating events without affecting past events.
Note: In Date Book, you can choose to delete the text of the current repeating event, current and future events, or all instances of that event. When you purge repeating events in Date Book, a confirmation dialog box appears. Tap the pick list and select how you want to purge old records. Purge deletes repeating events if the last of the series ends before the date that you purge records. Considerations for repeating or continuous events If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event (e.g.
What changed? The Reminder dialog now contains a new Snooze button. If you want to temporarily ignore the reminder, you can tap Snooze to dismiss the reminder and return to the current screen. The reminder message appears again five minutes after you tap Snooze. Viewing event record details It has always been easy to see your appointments and address record details at a glance, but there are some new features that make them even easier to read.
To select text in an application: 1. Tap the beginning of the text that you want to select. 2. Drag the stylus over the text to highlight it (in black), double tap to select a word, or triple tap to select a line of text. Note: You can also drag across the text to select additional words, or drag down to select a group of lines. Beaming categories Your handheld is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that you can use to beam information to another Palm OS® handheld that’s close by and also has an IR port.
Changes to Menus and Commands Menus and commands are easy to use, and we have added two new features to help you quickly access the menu bar and the more commonly used menu items. Command toolbar The 3.5 Upgrade includes a command toolbar that displays contextsensitive menu commands for the current screen. For example, if text is selected the menu icons displayed may be undo, cut, copy, and paste.
