Creating a user profile
If you need to configure several Palm OS
®
handhelds with specific
information (such as a company phone list) before distributing them
to their actual users, you can create a user profile to load the data into
a handheld without associating that data with a user name. The User
Profile feature is designed only for the first-time HotSync operation,
before you assign a User ID to a particular handheld.
To create a user profile:
1. Open Palm Desktop software.
2. From the User pop-up menu, choose Edit Users.
3. Click New Profile.
4. Enter the name of the profile and click OK.
5. Close the Users dialog box.
6. From the User pop-up menu, choose the profile name and create
the data for the profile (e.g., company phone list, etc.).
