Entering Data: Importing Data
Importing Data
If you have data stored in computer applications such as spreadsheets and databases, or if you want to import data from another
device, you can transfer the data to your iQue handheld without having to enter it manually. Save the data in one of the file formats
listed below, import it into
Palm™ Desktop software, and then perform a HotSync
®
operation to transfer the data to your handheld.
Palm Desktop software can import data in the following file formats:
Comma delimited (.csv, .txt): Address Book and Memo Pad only.
Tab delimited (.tab, .tsv, .txt): Address Book and Memo Pad only.
CSV (Lotus Organizer 2.x/97 Mapping): Address Book only.
Date Book archive (.dba).
Address Book archive (.aba).
To Do List archive (.tda).
Memo Pad archive (.mpa).
Archive formats can only be used with Palm Desktop software. Use the archive file formats to share information with other people
who use Palm Powered™ handhelds or to create a copy of your important Palm Desktop information.
To import data:
1. Open Palm Desktop software.
2. Click to select the application where you want to import data.
3. If you are importing records that contain a field with category names, do the following:
a. Select All in the Category box at the top of the window.
b. Make sure that the same categories that appear in the imported file also exist in the application. If the categories
do not exist, create them now; otherwise, the records will be imported into the Unfiled category.
4. Choose File > Import. Then select the file you want to import and click Open.
5. To import data into the correct Palm Desktop fields, drag fields in the left column so that they are opposite the
corresponding imported field on the right.
6. To exclude a field from being imported, deselect the checkbox for that field.
7. Click OK. The imported data is highlighted in the application.
8. To add the imported data to your handheld, perform a HotSync operation.
See Palm Desktop online Help for more information on importing and exporting data.
Using An External Keyboard
You can connect an external keyboard accessory to the serial connector of your handheld so you can type data directly into your
handheld. External keyboards are very useful for typing large amounts of data quickly and accurately while you are away from your
computer.
