Default Calendar<\/strong> – This option allows you to define to what Google Calendar to synchronize PocketOutlook events without a Category. If this is blank then you will need to assign each event a Category that correlates to a Google Calendar name in order to have them synchronized. (Important Note: If this option is left blank, any events synchronized by previous single-calendar versions of ActiveGcSync will not synchronize!)<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

Categories button<\/strong> – Click to select which non-calendar categories to sync to your default calendar<\/p>\n

Events<\/h4>\n
\n \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Calendar dropdown<\/strong> – Select a calendar to customize<\/p>\n

Event Label<\/strong> – What to label this event. The label will appear on your device in brackets, for example: [label]<\/strong>. Leave blank for no label<\/p>\n

Groups\/Categories<\/strong> – Click refresh to download contact groups from Google as well as PocketOutlook Categories. Check off any that you want to synchronize<\/p>\n

Sync All <\/strong>– Check this box to synchronize ALL contacts, regardless of category\/group. Keep in mind that in certain versions of Google Mail, anyone you email will be added to your Suggested Contacts and therefore will be synchronized using this option<\/p>\n

Default Group <\/strong>– If this dropdown is not blank, any local contacts will be considered to be a part of this group. This is useful if you do not want to set categories on a local contact in order to synchronize that contact<\/p>\n
