overview

    the pim item transfer service allows personal information manager items to be transferred between this computer and a remote bluetooth device.

    four data types are supported:

    1.business cards

    2.calendar items

    3.email messages

    4.notes

    each data type can be saved in any of the supported and installed pims.

    pims which are not installed on this computer will not appear in the shortcut menus.

    when the pim that is associated with an individual data type is changed on the pim item transfer page, that data type is also changed for the pim synchronization service.

    configure

    in addition to the configuration options common to all bluetooth services, this service also has settings that determine:

    1.how business card requests are handled. the options are:

    (1)never send my business card—ignore the request

    (2)choose a business card as needed—when prompted, select a business card to be sent to the requester.

    (3)always send the same business card—when a request is received always send the same business card. when this option is selected, a dialog box appears from within which an installed personal information manager (if more than one is installed on this computer) and an existing business card can be selected.

    (4)previously sent business cards—once a card is selected using the “always send the same business card” option, above, that card will be added to the shortcut menu as an option.

    previously sent business card additions to the menu are limited to ten, after which the oldest contact will be replaced.

    2.where to store inbound data items, on an individual basis. options include (not all options apply to all items):

    (1)do not accept

    (2)any of the installed pims on this computer

    (3)save to folder

    3.the bluetooth exchange folder location—the directory on this computer where inbound items that are not to be saved in a pim will be kept.

    this is also the folder where the file transfer service stores inbound items. if this folder is reconfigured here, it will also be reconfigured in that service automatically.

    4.whether to send/receive attachments with email. check or clear this option, as appropriate.

    close a pim item transfer connection

    pim item transfer connections close automatically when the data transfer is complete.

    default business card selection

    when the “always send the same business card” option is selected, a dialog box appears to allow the selection of a default business card.

    the first time the dialog box appears it provides a way to choose the personal information manager that stores the default business card. click the down-arrow in the pim shortcut menu and select the pim to be used.

    on subsequent appearances of this dialog box, the pim selection option is not available.

    change the selected pim

    on the pim item transfer properties page, “received items” section, there is a business cards shortcut menu. when a pim was selected during initial setup the selected item in this menu was set to the same pim. to change the pim used for the default business card, open this shortcut menu and select a new pim.

    a new default business card must be selected from the database of the newly selected pim.

    choose a default business card

    1. in the select a bluetooth business card dialog box that appears when “always send the same business card” is selected, highlight the card.

    once a card is highlighted, if you “hover” the mouse pointer over that selection, a balloon appears with additional information about that contact.

    2. click ok to choose a highlighted business card and return to the pim item transfer properties page. the chosen contact now appears in, and is selected in, the “business card requests” shortcut menu.

    if the “always send the same business card” option is selected again, and a different contact chosen, the properties page will display both contacts in the shortcut menu.

    in addition to the default menu options, the shortcut menu can hold up to ten contact names.
