Appointments or Tasks Missing on Palm after HotSync

If some events or tasks you have created in CorporateTime do not show up on the Palm, even though other events do show up, it is probably because you marked the events as "Personal" on CorporateTime, and have your preferences set up on the Palm to hide your private activities.

To show private activities on the Palm:

  1. Click on the Applications or Home icon to return to the application selection screen.
  2. Click on the Security icon.

    Security icon

  3. Where it says Private Records: Show Hide, click on Show.

    Private Records: Show

  4. If you have defined a password for your Palm device, you will need to enter it.

    Enter Password

Once you have done this, you will be able to see all events and tasks on your Palm device.

If someone else picks up your Palm device at this point, they will be able to see all of your private records. Therefore, it is a good idea to hide them again when you are done looking at them. If this is too cumbersome, there are third-party security applications available for the Palm which will lock the entire device until a password is entered. This has several advantages; in this situation, the advantage is that it would not be necessary to hide your private records if a password were required to access the entire device.
