When importing or exporting, you can have the information in your computer

files replace information on your Newton device, or vice versa, but keep

specific information that resides only on your Newton device. Say, for

example, you keep birth dates in your Newton Names application, but don’t

keep them in your computer file. You can import information from your

computer file into your Newton device without losing the birth dates that are

recorded there. To do so, you set up the field mapping between the computer

file and Newton application so that information isn’t transferred to your

birthday field (the birthday field is unmapped). You can then choose the

Merge conflict resolution. Information from your computer file is imported

into your Newton device without losing your birth date information.

If a conflict is detected when synchronizing, you can also have the utilities

make no changes to either the computer file or Newton device. Thus the

utilities ignore the differences in information and maintain both the computer

and Newton device information as is. To have conflicting information left

unchanged, you choose the Ignore conflict resolution.

Because the utilities use key fields to determine conflicts, the field mapping

you set up for your computer and Newton device files is important. For more

information about setting up field maps, see “Using Field Maps” later in

this chapter.

Conflict resolution for importing or exporting

When you import or export, your choices for conflict resolution are

m Add: When importing, all conflicting entries from your computer’s

application are added to entries in your Newton application. When

exporting, all conflicting entries from your Newton application are added

to entries in your computer’s application.

m Computer Wins: Entries from your computer’s file replace conflicting

entries in your Newton application.

m Newton Device Wins: Entries from your computer application do not

replace conflicting entries in your Newton application.
