Back up the data stored on your Smartphone with HotSync technology and synchronize the data on your Palm Desktop software. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures your data is always safe and up-to-date. See Exchanging and Updating Data: HotSync Operations in Chapter x for more information. Import and export data, so you can easily transfer data from other desktop applications into any of your main applications. See Importing Data in Chapter x for more information.

The Graffiti writing strokes include all letters, numbers, and symbols found on a standard keyboard. Writing Graffiti Characters With only a few minutes of practice, youll find it easy to enter accurate text and numbers using Graffiti writing strokes. Follow these guidelines to learn and use Graffiti writing strokes successfully:
To achieve 100% accuracy, practice drawing characters exactly as they appear in the tables later in this chapter. The heavy dot on each shape indicates where to start the stroke. Some characters have similar shapes, but different starting and ending points. Always start the stroke at the heavy dot. (Do not draw the heavy dot; it is there only as a guideline.) Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your Smartphone recognizes and displays the text character immediately. The Graffiti writing strokes for letters closely resemble uppercase letters of the standard English alphabet, and many Graffiti strokes are part of their standard alphabet equivalents. ENTERING DATA IN YOUR SMARTPHONE 23 The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts, one for writing letters and one for writing numbers. The small marks at the top and bottom of the Graffiti writing area indicate the two areas. To have your Smartphone recognize characters and numbers, you must begin character strokes on the left side, and number strokes on the right side of the Graffiti writing area. Write letters here Write numbers here Division marks To write Graffiti letters:
1. Tap the screen where you want to write text, for example, on a line next to a time in the Date Book. A blinking cursor appears on the screen before you can begin writing text. 2. Use the tables on the page xx to find the stroke shape for the letter you want to write. For example, the stroke shown below creates the letter n. You use the same shape to create both the uppercase and lowercase version of a letter. Lift stylus here. Start stroke at heavy dot. 24 ENTERING DATA IN YOUR SMARTPHONE 3. Position the stylus in the left hand side of the Graffiti writing area. 4. Start your stroke at the heavy dot, and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the tables. 5. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape. Your Smartphone recognizes your stroke immediately and displays the letter at the insertion point onscreen. As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for the next character you want to write. Graffiti Tips When using Graffiti writing, keep the following tips in mind:
For greater accuracy, draw letters with large strokes; strokes that nearly fill the Graffiti writing area are easily interpreted. To delete characters, set the insertion point to the right of the character you want to delete, and draw the Backspace stroke
(a line from right to left) in the Graffiti writing area. Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can produce errors. Do not write at a slant. Keep vertical strokes should be parallel to the sides of the Graffiti writing area. When letters and numbers can be written using two different strokes, use the one thats easiest for you. Press firmly. 2 ENTERING DATA IN YOUR SMARTPHONE 25 The Graffiti Alphabet Draw Graffiti letters according to the following alphabet.

If you change the start date of a repeating event, your Smartphone calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your Smartphone then automatically changes the end date to maintain the duration of the repeating event. If you change the repeat interval (e.g., daily to weekly) of a repeating event, past occurrences (prior to the day on which you change the setting) are not changed, and your Smartphone creates a new repeating event. If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event
(e.g., from January 14 to January 15) and apply the change to all occurrences, the new date becomes the start date of the repeating event. Your Smartphone adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of the event. If you change other repeat settings (for example, time, alarm, private) of a repeating event and apply the change to all occurrences, your Smartphone creates a new event. The start date of this new event is the day on which the setting is changed. Past occurrences (prior to the day of the change) are not changed. If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., time), that occurrence no longer shows the Repeat icon . 152 DATE BOOK Rescheduling Events You reschedule events using the Details option in the Date Book.

You can define different settings for local and remote synchronization. For example, you may want to download all of your e-mail items when youre working at the office and synchronizing your devices locally, but only urgent e-mail items when youre away from your office and synchronizing your devices remotely. Once defined, your Smartphone determines if synchronization is occurring locally or remotely and uses the appropriate settings for the HotSync operation. You can filter messages to control which ones are downloaded, and you can set truncation options to download only part of lengthy e-mail items. Downloading transmits only e-mail items and any text information, not attachments, to your Smartphone. Downloaded attachments are left in your desktop e-mail application. To set HotSync Options to control synchronizing e-mail items:
1. Tap to open the Applications Launcher, and tap Mail. 2. Tap the Menu icon . 3. Tap Options, and then tap HotSync Options. 208 MAIL 4. Tap the Settings For pick list, and select Local HotSync or Remote HotSync. Tap here to display HotSync options.

Filter Send Only Sends only the e-mail items in your Smartphone Outbox to your desktop e-mail application; from there, the application sends the items to their destinations. Downloads all e-mail items in your desktop Inbox that meet specific criteria to your Smartphone, and sends e-mail items that meet specific criteria from your Smartphone Outbox to your desktop application. When you select the Filter setting, the HotSync Options dialog box opens and displays additional filter settings. See Creating special filters later in this chapter. 9 MAIL 209 Downloads only unread e-mail items from your Unread desktop Inbox to your Smartphone, and all items in your Smartphone Outbox to your desktop e-mail application. 6. Choose from the following options:
If you selected All, Send Only, or Unread, tap OK. If you selected Filter, continue to the next section. Using Filters to Control Downloading You can create special filters to control the type of e-mail items that download to your Smartphone during synchronization. Special filters ignore or retrieve items that contain specific information in their header fields, according to what youve instructed your Smartphone to look for in the To, From, and Subject fields. To access the special filter settings:
1. In the Hot Sync Options dialog box, tap Filter. 2. If your e-mail application can flag high-priority items, tap Retrieve All High-Priority items to retrieve these items and override any filter settings. 3. Tap the pick list in the center of the HotSync Options dialog box, and choose whether to ignore or retrieve e-mail items based on the matching information:
210 MAIL Tap here Select Filter option Tap Ignore Messages Containing to have your Smartphone exclude e-mail items that meet the defined criteria and download all other e-mail items during synchronization. In general, this filter downloads more e-mail during synchronization because it blocks only one defined subset of e-mail. Tap Retrieve Only Msgs Containing to have your Smartphone include only the e-mail items that meet the defined criteria and ignore all other e-mail items during synchronization. This filter can block more e-mail during synchronization because it downloads only one subset of e-mail. 5. Enter a filter string in the To, From, and Subject fields. For information on creating filter strings, see Defining filter strings later in this chapter. 6. Tap Truncate to stop long e-mail items from downloading, and then specify a number of characters, between 250 and 8,000
(the default is 4,000.). Tap OK. 9 MAIL 211 A lower value reduces the time to synchronize your desktop e-mail and Mail and the e-mail storage space that your Smartphone needs. Messages longer than 8,000 characters will be truncated. Tap to select maximum length. Tap Truncate. 7. Tap OK. Defining Filter Strings Your Smartphone filters e-mail items based on information in their To, From, and Subject fields, called a filter string. You create a filter string by listing the words you want your Smartphone to find and separating them by either a comma or a space. Each word in the filter string is joined by an implicit OR; your Smartphone adds the logical connectors like AND or OR. To create a more complex filter, you can define filter strings for the To, From, and Subject fields. Your Smartphone joins the filter strings for these fields using an implicit AND, and adds the logical connector for you. 212 MAIL For example, you might want to receive only e-mail items from John Smith (jsmith@aol.com) or Jack Jones (jjones@aol.com) concerning the Apollo Project. You would create the following filter strings:
In the To field: jsmith@aol.com, jjones@aol.com In the Subject field: Apollo Project Your Smartphone interprets this as, Accept e-mail items about the Apollo Project from John Smith or Jack Jones. Do not accept e-mail items from other people. Do not accept e-mail items from John or Jack about any other subject. When you define a string, your Smartphone searches for any instance of that sequence of characters. For example, if you define a filter that retrieves only e-mail items with the string info, appropriate matches would include info, rainforest and kinfolk. To define a filter string:
1. Tap the To, From, or Subject header field in the HotSync Options dialog box. Tap here to insert cursor. 9 MAIL 213 2. Enter your filter string, using commas or spaces to separate the words. Do not add connectors, such as AND or OR, between words in a string. 3. If your string exceeds the length of the field, tap the name of the field to display the Notes screen for that header field. See Creating e-mail items earlier in this chapter. Tap here Enter filter data. Tap Done to return to HotSync Options. 4. Tap Done to return to the HotSync Options dialog box. 5. Tap OK. 214 MAIL Mail Menus Mail menus are shown here for your reference, and Mail features that are not explained elsewhere in this book are described here.

To synchronize data, you must connect your Smartphone and Palm Desktop either directly, by placing your Smartphone in the cradle attached to your computer, or indirectly, with a modem or network. EXCHANGING AND UPDATING DATA USING HOTSYNC OPERATIONS 237 The HotSync process automatically synchronizes data between your Smartphone and Palm Desktop software. Changes you make on your Smartphone or Palm Desktop software appear in both places after a HotSync operation. HotSync technology synchronizes only the needed portions of files, thus reducing synchronization time. You can synchronize your data by connecting your Smartphone directly to your computer with the cradle or indirectly with a modem or network. This chapter describes how to select HotSync options and perform a HotSync operation via a modem or network. See Chapter x, Mail, for information on performing HotSync operations via a modem or network. 238 EXCHANGING AND UPDATING DATA USING HOTSYNC OPERATIONS Performing a HotSync Operation for the First Time The first time you synchronize your data, you must enter user information on both the Smartphone and Palm Desktop software. After you enter this information and synchronize, the HotSync Manager recognizes your Smartphone and doesnt ask for this information again. If you are a system administrator preparing several Smartphones for a group of users, you may want to create a user profile. See Creating a user profile later in this chapter before performing the following steps. Important: You must perform your first HotSync operation with a local, direct connection, rather than using a modem. The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm Desktop software. 12 EXCHANGING AND UPDATING DATA USING HOTSYNC OPERATIONS 239 To perform a local HotSync operation:
The Cradle that comes with your Smartphone enables you to synchronize the information on your phone with the Palm Desktop software using the HotSync technology. If you are planning to synchronize data between the Smartphone and your computer do the following:
1. Turn off the computer. 2. Plug the serial cable from the cradle into the serial communications(COM) port on your computer. Note: Your Smartphone requires a dedicated port. It cannot share a port with an internal modem or other device. If you are unsure about the exact location of the serial port on your computer, refer to the manual supplied with the computer. The bottom edge of the Smartphone should align smoothly with the cradle when it is inserted properly. 3. Insert your Smartphone into the cradle. 4. Turn on the computer. 240 EXCHANGING AND UPDATING DATA USING HOTSYNC OPERATIONS 5. If the HotSync Manager is not running, start it:
On the Windows desktop, click Start, and then choose Programs. Navigate to the Palm Desktop software program group and choose HotSync Manager. Alternatively, you can start the Palm Desktop software which automatically opens the HotSync Manager. 6. Press the HotSync button on the cradle. Note: If you are using an optional HotSync cable instead of a cradle, click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray and select Local from the menu. 12 HotSync button 7. If you are performing the HotSync operation for the first time, you must enter a user name in the New User dialog box and click OK. The HotSync Progress dialog box appears and synchronization begins. Every Smartphone should have a unique name. To prevent loss of a users records, never try to synchronize more than one Smartphone to the same user name. EXCHANGING AND UPDATING DATA USING HOTSYNC OPERATIONS 241 8. Wait for a message on your Smartphone indicating that the process is complete. When the HotSync process is complete, you can remove your Smartphone from the cradle. Creating a User Profile You can create a user profile to load data into an Smartphone without associating that data with a user name, using the File Link feature. This feature lets system administrators configure several Smartphones with specific information such as a company phone list before distributing them to their actual users. For more information on the File Link option, see Using File Link later in this chapter. The User Profile feature is designed only for the first-time HotSync operation, before you assign a User ID to a particular Smartphone. To create a user profile:
1. Open Palm Desktop software. 2. From the Tools menu, choose Users. 242 EXCHANGING AND UPDATING DATA USING HOTSYNC OPERATIONS 3. Click Profiles. 4. Click New. Enter a unique name for the profile, and click OK. 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each profile that you want to create. When you have finished, click OK to return to Palm Desktop software. 6. Select the profile from the User list and create the data for the profile (for example, company phone list, and so on). To use a profile for the first-time HotSync operation:
1. Place the new Smartphone in the cradle. 2. Press the HotSync button on the cradle. 3. Click Profiles. 12 4. Select the profile that you want to load on the Smartphone, and click OK. 5. Click Yes to transfer all the profile data to the Smartphone. The next time you perform a HotSync operation, Palm Desktop software prompts you to assign a user name to the Smartphone. EXCHANGING AND UPDATING DATA USING HOTSYNC OPERATIONS 243 Selecting HotSync Setup Options You can choose when you want HotSync Manager to run.

Click OK. 246 EXCHANGING AND UPDATING DATA USING HOTSYNC OPERATIONS Customizing HotSync Application Settings For each application, you can define a set of options that determines how records are handled during synchronization. These options are called a conduit. By default, a HotSync operation synchronizes all files between the Smartphone and Palm Desktop software. In general, you should leave the settings to synchronize all files. The only reason you might want to change these settings is to overwrite data on either your Smartphone or Palm Desktop software, or to avoid synchronizing a particular type of file because you dont use it. In addition to the conduits for Date Book, Address Book, To Do List, Memo Pad, and Expense, Palm Desktop software includes System and Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information stored on your Smartphone, including Graffiti ShortCuts. The Install conduit installs applications on your Smartphone. 12 EXCHANGING AND UPDATING DATA USING HOTSYNC OPERATIONS 247 To customize HotSync application settings:
1. Click the HotSync icon in the Windows system tray (bottom right corner of the taskbar). Tip: You can also click the HotSync command on the Palm Desktop software menu bar. 2.

Click OK. 8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 to change conduit settings for other applications. 9. Click Done to activate your settings. 12 EXCHANGING AND UPDATING DATA USING HOTSYNC OPERATIONS 249 Conducting a HotSync Operation Via Modem You can use a modem, such as the modem, to synchronize your Smartphone when you are away from your computer. Note: The first HotSync operation must be local, using the cradle. After that, you can perform a modem HotSync operation. To perform a HotSync operation via modem you must complete the following steps:
Connect a modem to your computer. Configure the Palm Desktop software for use with your modem. Connect a modem to your organizer. Configure the Modem preferences on your Smartphone for use with your modem. See page xx for details. Preparing Your Computer You must perform a few steps to prepare your computer for a modem HotSync operation.

Proper care of your smartphone Prolonging battery life Resetting your smartphone Caring for Your Smartphone Your smartphone is designed to be rugged and reliable and to provide years of trouble-free service. Please observe the following general tips when using your smartphone:
Take care not to scratch the screen of your smartphone. Keep the screen clean. When working with your smartphone, use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive screen. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp object on the surface of the smartphone screen. MAINTAINING YOUR SMARTPHONE 305 Your smartphone is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Under extreme conditions, water may enter the circuitry through the front panel buttons. In general, treat your smartphone as you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument. The touch-sensitive screen of your smartphone contains a glass element. Take care not to drop your smartphone or subject it to any strong impact. Do not carry your smartphone in your back pocket: if you sit on it, the glass may break. Protect your smartphone from temperature extremes. Do not leave your smartphone on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it away from heaters and other heat sources. Do not store or use your smartphone in any location that is extremely dusty, damp, or wet. Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your smartphone. If the surface of the smartphone screen becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution. Battery Considerations Please note the following considerations for the battery in your smartphone:
Under normal conditions, your smartphone battery should remain charged by placing it in the cradle for just a few minutes each day. You can conserve battery life by minimizing the use of the backlight feature, and changing the Auto-off setting that automatically turns the smartphone off after a period of inactivity. See General preferences in Chapter x. 306 MAINTAINING YOUR SMARTPHONE If the battery becomes low in the course of normal use, an alert appears on the smartphone screen describing the low battery condition. If this alert appears, perform a HotSync operation to back up your data; then recharge the unit. This helps prevent accidental data loss. If the battery drains to the point where your smartphone does not operate, it stores your data safely for about a week. In this case, there is enough residual energy in the battery to store the data, but not enough to turn on your smartphone. If your smartphone does not turn on when you press the power button, you should recharge the unit immediately. If your battery drains and you have the unit in an uncharged state for an extended period of time, you can lose all of the stored data. There are no serviceable parts inside your smartphone, so do not attempt to open the unit. You never need to replace the battery, even if the charge runs out. If you ever dispose of your smartphone, please dispose of it without damaging the environment. Either return your smartphone to the service representative, or take it to your nearest environmental recycling center. A MAINTAINING YOUR SMARTPHONE 307 Resetting Your Smartphone Under normal circumstances, you will not have to use the reset button. On rare occasions, however, your smartphone may no longer respond to buttons or the screen. In this case, you need to perform a reset to get your smartphone running again. Performing a Soft Reset A soft reset tells your smartphone to stop what its doing and start over again. All records and entries stored in your smartphone are retained with a soft reset. After a soft reset, the Dialer screen appears. To perform a soft reset::
Use the reset tip tool, or the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or similar object without a sharp tip), to gently press the reset button inside the hole on the back panel of your smartphone. Reset button 308 MAINTAINING YOUR SMARTPHONE Performing a Hard Reset With a hard reset, all records and entries stored in your smartphone are erased. Never perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does not solve your problem. Note: You can restore any data previously synchronized with your computer during the next HotSync operation. To perform a hard reset:
1. Hold down the power button on the fright side of the smartphone. 2. While holding down the power button, use the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or similar object without a sharp tip) to gently press the reset button. 3. Release the power button. 4. When a message appears on the smartphone screen warning that you are about to erase all the data stored on your smartphone, do one of the following:
Press the Up button on the front panel of the smartphone to complete the hard reset and display the Setup screen. Press any other button to cancel the procedure. Note: With a hard reset, the current date and time are retained. Formats Preferences and other settings are restored to their factory default settings.

If the telephone line you are using has Call Waiting, make sure you selected the Disable call waiting option under Modem Sync Phone Setup on your smartphone and entered the correct code. Make sure the telephone line you are using is not noisy, which can interrupt communications. Make sure you are not running another program, such as America Online, CompuServe, or WinFax, that uses the serial port you selected in the Setup dialog box. Make sure your modem resets before you try again. (Turn off your modem, wait a minute, then turn it back on.) 320 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Network Problems Problem Solution I cannot get e-mail on my smartphone. To receive e-mail wirelessly, you must have over-the-air digital data coverage in your area. Connect your service provider. If you have digital data coverage, you can send and receive e-mail on the smartphone by using the application and keeping all of your mail messages on a server. The Mail application does not support over-
the-air data. If you do not have digital data coverage, you must send and receive e-mail on your computer e-mail program. You can then transfer messages to Palm Mail using a HotSync operation. Once the messages have been transferred, you can read them answer them, and compose new messages on the smartphone. These messages are transferred back to your computer during your next HotSync operation and sent to their recipients by the computer e-mail program. See Chapter x Mail. B FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 321 Problem Solution I cannot surf the Web on my smartphone. To access the Internet, you must have over-the-air digital data coverage in your area. Contact your wireless telephone service provider. Before you can open a Web side on your smartphone, the Network Preferences must be set up. This is usually done by your service provider.

If you are having a problem with a third-party application, please contact the developer or publisher of that software. B FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 325 C APPENDIX C Creating a Custom Expense Report This section explains how to modify existing Expense application templates and how to create your own custom expense report templates for use with the Expense application. Note: This section assumes that you are familiar with Microsoft Excel or a similar spreadsheet application. If you are not familiar with Microsoft Excel, consult your companys Information Services department or another experienced user. CREATING A CUSTOM EXPENSE REPORT 327 About Mapping Tables Before creating or modifying an Expense template, its important to understand the function of the Palm Desktop software Expense application. In simple terms, the Expense application is designed to move Expense data from your smartphone into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Each Expense item stored in your smartphone represents a group of related data. The following data can be associated with an expense item:
Category Date Expense Type Amount Payment Method Note Payment Currency Vendor City Attendees When you perform a HotSync operation between your smartphone and Palm Desktop software on your computer, the Expense data is stored on your computer (in a file named Expense.txt). When you open the Expense application in Palm Desktop software, an Excel macro starts, and populates an expense template with your data based on the rules specified in a spreadsheet file named Map table.xls. The Map table.xls file is an editable spreadsheet that functions as a mapping table. The function of the mapping table is to guide the Excel macro in extracting the Expense data. The mapping table tells the Excel macro how large the spreadsheet is and provides the data-cell layout of the Excel template used for the Expense Report. 328 CREATING A CUSTOM EXPENSE REPORT Customizing Existing Sample Templates Four sample Expense Report templates come with Palm Desktop software. These templates are stored in the Template folder
(which is in the same folder as the Palm Desktop software application). If the layout of one (or more) of these templates is appropriate for your reporting needs, you can easily customize the templates with your company name and other information. To customize a sample Expense Report template:
1. Make a backup copy of the contents of the Template folder. 2. Double-click the name of the sample template you want to modify to open it in Microsoft Excel. 3. Make any changes that you want to the names (or other information) in the sample template. C CREATING A CUSTOM EXPENSE REPORT 329 Important: Do not insert rows or columns in the sample template. Doing so changes the way your Expense data maps to the template and causes errors. If you want to move the cells to a different location or add or delete rows or columns, you have to make changes to the Map table.xls file. Note: You can insert your own company logo without changing the Map table.xls file. If you change the file name, however, you need to make a corresponding change in the Map table.xls file. You can also rename cells without changing the Map table.xls file, provided that the expense type corresponds to your smartphone data. For example, you can change Snack to Munchies, and then all items entered on your smartphone as Snack map to the cell(s) labeled Munchies. 4. From the File menu, choose Save As. 5. Click the Save as type drop-down list and choose Template
(*.xlt). 6. Navigate to the Template folder (in the Palm Desktop software directory). Note: If you do not need to change the Map table.xls file, save the template file with its original file name (e.g., Sample2.xlt). If you do need to change the Map table.xls file, give your modified template a unique name. Be sure to use the .xlt file suffix, which defines the file as a Microsoft Excel template. 7. Click Save to save your modified template and make it available for future use. 330 CREATING A CUSTOM EXPENSE REPORT Note: If you need to modify the Map table.xls file, you must do this before you can use the modified template with your Expense data. To modify the Map table.xls file for your new template, see Programming the mapping table later in this appendix. Read all of the sections of this appendix before making changes to the Map table.xls file. Determining the Layout of the Expense Report This section describes the layout considerations for the Expense Report and explains the terms used for creating the report. Labels There are two kinds of labels that you need to define for your report: day/date and expense type. Each kind of label can be either Fixed or Variable. A Fixed label means that the label always appears as a header at the beginning of a row or column. If a label is not Fixed, it is variable. For example, a list table of expenses could have variable labels in the rows for day/date, and variable labels in the columns for expense type. In this case, neither day/date or expense type information would be fixed (as a header). Instead, the date and expense type information would be filled into the cells of the spreadsheet as appropriate. Examples of both Fixed and Variable labels appear in the sample expense templates. C CREATING A CUSTOM EXPENSE REPORT 331 Sections A Section is an area of the report that has common formatting. It is common for an Expense report to have more than one Section. For example, the following sample Expense Report named Sample3.xlt contains several Sections. Section 1 (not prepaid) Section 2 (prepaid) Section 3 Because your Expense data maps to row and column areas of your final report, different Sections require different definitions for the data mapping. To create additional Sections with different mapping, you create corresponding additional lines to the mapping table file named Map table.xls. This procedure is explained later in this appendix. If a section contains cells for prepaid (company paid) expenses, you need to create an additional line in the mapping table for prepaid. This will count as an additional section in the mapping table. The only data that differs in the prepaid section (from the non-prepaid section) is the row/column numbers for the expense type. 332 CREATING A CUSTOM EXPENSE REPORT Analyzing Your Custom Expense Report If you already have a custom Excel expense report, you can use it with a modified mapping table. However, before you can create a Map table.xls file that corresponds to your custom Expense Report, you must first analyze the characteristics of your report. Perform the following before you begin a custom mapping table:
Print a copy of your custom expense report. Activate the Row and Column Headings option in the Sheet settings of the Page Setup command. This enables you to quickly determine the size of the Section(s), as well as the numbers for the start rows and columns. On the printed copy, identify the data Sections. A Section is an area of data with common row and column formatting. A yellow highlighter marking pen can make it easy to see the Sections as you work with programming the mapping table. Your custom Expense Report can contain any number of Sections, and the same data can be repeated in any Section. On the printed copy, identify the type of Labels that apply to each Section. Each Section can have only one kind of Fixed or Variable Label for rows. Likewise, each Section can have only one kind of Fixed or Variable Label for columns. Place a copy of your custom Expense Report in the Template folder (in the Palm Desktop software directory). Change the file name so it has the file extension .xlt (which defines it as a Microsoft Excel template). Make a note of the exact file name so it can be defined in the mapping table file. C CREATING A CUSTOM EXPENSE REPORT 333 Programming the Mapping Table Once you have analyzed the components of your custom Expense Report, you can program the mapping table to fill the report with data from the smartphone. To program a new custom mapping table:
1. Open a copy of the Map table.xls file in Microsoft Excel. Note: This file is located in the same folder as the Palm Desktop software application. Make a backup copy of this file before you make your modifications. 2. Mapping a new template. Scroll to where you find the name of the original template that you chose for your modifications. The name of the template will appear in column B of the Map table.xls file, next to the cell highlighted in green that reads Template Name:. If you did not modify an existing template, move to any table in the Map table.xls file. 3. Select all the rows associated with the template name. To select the rows, click and drag on the row numbers (left side), so they appear highlighted. All rows associated with template are selected 334 CREATING A CUSTOM EXPENSE REPORT 4. From the Edit menu, choose Copy. 5. Scroll down to a blank area of the Map table.xls file (below the rows used for Sample4.xlt), and click on a row number to select a blank row. 6. From the Edit menu, choose Paste. A copy of the rows you selected in step 3 is pasted into the Map table.xls file. 7. Name the table. In the cell immediately to the right of the cell entitled Template Name, enter the exact file name of your custom Expense Report template. 8. Define the number of Sections. Each row in a table defines how your smartphone data will be placed in a Section of your custom Expense Report. Note that the prepaid portion of a section has its own row and counts as a separate section for map table purposes, even though it is not a separate section in your template. Table with four sections You may add or delete rows as necessary so that the total number of rows corresponds to the number of Sections in your custom Expense Report. To clear all of the existing settings in a row, click to select the row and press Ctrl+Delete. Name each row to correspond to a Section of your custom Expense Report.

(Row, Column) appears in the yellow section of the table. Determine whether the Rows will contain expense or date information, and place an x in the appropriate cell. When you do this, you also define whether the label is Fixed or Variable. You can place only one x in the Row section
(columns 25). Determine whether the Columns will contain expense or date information, and place an x in the appropriate cell. When you do this, you also define whether the label is Fixed or Variable. You can place only one x in the Column section
(columns 69). 10. Define the dimensions of the Section. The dimensions of the Section appear in the green columns (1013).
# of Rows Represents the total number of columns in the Section, excluding any header or total columns. Another words, this includes only the number of columns in the Section where your smartphone data will be placed. Represents the total number of rows in the
# of Columns Section, excluding any header or total rows. In other words, this includes only the number of rows in the Section where your smartphone data will be placed. 336 CREATING A CUSTOM EXPENSE REPORT Start Row Start Columns Is the number of the first row of the Section that will be filled with your smartphone data. Is the number of the first column of the Section that will be filled with your smartphone data. 11. Define the Dates and Intervals. The dates and intervals between dates appears in the light blue columns (1417). In the Date cell, enter the row or column number where all the date information will be placed. In the Dates cell, enter the number of blank columns (or rows) separating the date fields. If there are no blank columns (or rows) between date entries, leave this number set to zero. In the Start Day cell, enter the day of the week that starts the expense reporting period. Enter a three-character abbreviation for the day (e.g., Sun, Mon, Tue). In the Day cell, enter the row or column number where all the day information will be placed. If the dates are in a row, enter the row number. If the dates are in a column, enter the column number. 12. Define whether the Section is in list format. This setting appears in the light purple columns (1819). C CREATING A CUSTOM EXPENSE REPORT 337 If the Section will present the data in a list format, enter the word yes. Otherwise, enter the word no. The following diagram shows data presented in a list format:
Only if your section is in list format: In the Expense Type cell, enter the number of the row or column where the expense description will be placed. Expense amounts can be entered in several different columns or rows if required by your template. Expense type labels must all appear in the same column. 13. Enter the row or column numbers for the expense types that appear in the Section. These settings appear in the aqua columns (2048). For these settings, simply enter the row or column number for the expense types that you want to appear in the Section. Note that the same row or column number can be used more than once. An example of this would be meals that encompass breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. In the previous example, all expense items would be populated into row/column 4 of the custom Expense Report. 14. Complete the table. All of the remaining columns (4957) in the table are used to define the column or row number that corresponds to the description. 338 CREATING A CUSTOM EXPENSE REPORT 15. Mark a Section for prepaid expenses (yellow column). If a row in the map table is for prepaid (company paid) expenses, type a yes in the cell on that Sections row. Type no in all the cells of this column that do not pertain to prepaid expenses. 16. Repeat steps 9 through 15 for each Section that you have defined for your custom Expense Report. 17. Map Expense Report Options dialog (magenta section). The Expense Report Options dialog has five fields where you can fill in data for the header on your expense report. Use this section to specify the row and column on your template where this information will be mapped. Because header data is not related to any particular Section, you have to fill in only one row. If the item does not appear on your template, leave these cells blank. C CREATING A CUSTOM EXPENSE REPORT 339 Using Applications Other than Microsoft Excel You can use applications other than Microsoft Excel (such as Lotus 1-2-3 or Quattro Pro) to open and manipulate the Expense data on your computer. The data file is named Expense.txt, and is stored in the Expense folder, within the folder containing the smartphone user data. Expense data in the Expense.txt file is in tab-delimited format. Expense File Details The Expense.txt file contains four groups of data. It will be easier to see these four distinct groups of data if you open the file with a spreadsheet application. Trips Shows the number of Expense application categories, and lists each one followed by an end statement. Currency Shows how many currencies were used for the Expense data, and lists the countries that correspond to that currency. Trip Shows the number of expenses by category, and lists the expenses for each category. Expenses Shows the total number of expenses, and lists them chronologically. 340 CREATING A CUSTOM EXPENSE REPORT D APPENDIX D Non-ASCII Characters for Login Scripts The following information enables you to create custom login scripts that require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users who understand the use and requirements of such characters in a custom login script. Use of ^char You may use the caret ( ^ ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send ^char, and the ASCII value of char is between @ and _, then the character is automatically translated to a single-byte value between 0 and 31. For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return. If char is a value between a and z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If char is any other value, then the character sequence is not subject to any special processing. NON-ASCII CHARACTERS FOR LOGIN SCRIPTS 341 For example, the string Joe^M transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return. Carriage Return and Line Feed You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the login script, when entered in the following format:
<cr> Sends or receives a carriage return
<lf> Sends or receives a line feed For example, the string waitfor Joe<cr><lf> waits to receive Joe followed by a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer before executing the next command in the script. Literal Characters The backslash ( \ ) character defines that the next character is transmitted as a literal character, and is not subject to any special processing ordinarily associated with that character. Examples:
\^ Includes a caret as part of the string
\< Includes a < as part of the string
\\ Includes a backslash as part of the string 342 NON-ASCII CHARACTERS FOR LOGIN SCRIPTS changing display 26 using 25 auto shut-off, setting 9 B backlight, turning off 9 beamed information receiving
