4. OneSync
Settings - FROM Client TO Device
In this section we'll make the configuration
changes for contacts that will sync Contacts FROM your
Outlook Client TO your Mobile Device.
4-a: First, locate the 'Client
Category' setting. In the textbox provided, type the
name of the Outlook Category you have assigned to the
Contacts you wish to sync FROM Outlook TO your Mobile
Device.
If you wish to sync ALL of your contacts
from Outlook to your Mobile Device, please review the
How To Configure Basic Contact Synchronization for OneSync
How To guide, which covers predefined Contact synchronization
scenarios.
For an explanation of using Categories
for Contact synchronization, please review the

4-b: Next, locate the 'Device Category'
setting. Here you will tell SyncCell what Category to
assign synchronized Contacts to on your Mobile Device.
Click on the selection button to the left
of the textbox...
The 'Choose a Mobile Device Category'
dialog window will appear...
Use your mouse to select which Category
you want to use and then click the 'OK' button to close
the dialog window.

4-c: The last thing we'll look
at in the 'FROM Client TO Device' section is the Replace
vs. Add selection choice. Locate the 'Replace All in
Category' and 'Add to Category Only' options.
- Replace All in Category - Choose
this option if you want to Replace all Contacts in the
selected Mobile Device Category with the Contacts from
the selected Outlook Client Category. Only those Contacts
in the chosen Categories will be affected. All other
Contacts will remain unchanged.
- Add to Category Only - Choose
this option if you only want to Add Contacts to the
selected Mobile Device Category from the selected Outlook
Client Category. No Mobile Device Contacts will be deleted.
5. OneSync
Settings - FROM Device TO Client
In this section we'll make the configuration
changes for Contacts that will sync FROM your Mobile
Device TO your Outlook Client.
5-a: First, locate the 'Client
Category' setting in the top half of the 'FROM Device
TO Client' section. The Client Category here will be
the Category that you selected in step 4-a above. This
Category will be assigned the Contacts that you wish
to sync FROM your Mobile Device TO your Outlook Client.
For an explanation of using Categories
for Contact synchronization, please review the
How To Configure Categories for your Mobile Device
How To guide.
5-b: Next, locate the two synchronization
options in the top half of the 'FROM Device TO Client'
section.

this option if you wish to never synchronize Contacts
from your Mobile Device to your Outlook Client.
- Add to client from this Device Category
- Choose this option if you want new Contacts found
in the chosen Category to be added to your Outlook Client.
No Contacts on the Outlook Client will be deleted. To
change the selected Category, click the button located

The 'Choose a Mobile Device Category'
dialog window will appear...
Use your mouse to select which Category
you want to use and then click the 'OK' button to close

Device TO Client' section deals with unnamed numbers
that were dialed or received on the Mobile Device. Locate
the 'Client Category' setting in the bottom half of
the 'FROM Device TO Client' section. In the textbox
provided, type the name of the Outlook Category you
wish to receive the unnamed numbers on your Mobile Device.
Please refer to your Outlook documentation if you wish
to set up a new Outlook Category.
Now locate the related checkbox options
to the right of the 'Client Category' selection in the
bottom half of the 'FROM Device TO Client' section...
If you do not wish to synchronize unnamed
numbers on your Mobile Device, leave both of the checkboxes
unchecked. Otherwise choose one or both of the unnamed
numbers options:
