About field maps

Application programs store information in categories, called fields, that

describe the type of information entered. For example, an entry in an Address

Book application might have several fields: a Name field, an Address field,

a Phone field, a Job Title field, and so on.

Different applications may have slightly different names for these fields. For

example, one application might have a Work Address field and another

application might have an Office field. Despite the different names, the type

of information entered in these fields is essentially the same.

In addition, some applications may have fields that don’t exist in other

applications. For example, a Fax Number or E-mail Address field might

appear in one application, but not another.

When you import, export, or synchronize information on your Newton device,

the information is transferred using a default field map. This field map acts as

a template to determine how information in your Newton application is

mapped to information in your computer’s application. This field map also

lists which fields of information are transferred and which are not.

In most cases, the default field map will work fine for transferring

information. However, you may want to change the field map to meet your

specific needs. For example, you might have custom fields in your computer’s

application. See “Changing a Field Map,” next, for more information.
