Microsoft Outlook allows you to assign
a keyword to each contact item in your Contacts List.
This keyword is called a Category. Categories allow
you to sort, filter and group by the Category keyword.
Outlook supplies a list of predefined Category keywords
you can use or, if you prefer, you can choose create
your own. When you create a new Contact in Outlook there
will be an option on the screen to assign a Category
keyword. Please refer to your Outlook documentation
for further help in assigning Categories.
So why is this important to us? Well,
by using Categories, SyncCell allows you to create various
synchronization options for your Contacts when using
OneSync. For instance, you might only want to sync Contacts
that belong to a Category called "Business".
In order to use Categories when synching
your Contacts, you will need to make sure that whatever
Category keyword you have chosen in Outlook is also
setup on your mobile phone. For example, if you create
and use a Category called "Family" within
Outlook you will have to create that Category on your
mobile device as well.
