Transfer calendar events using the Data Transfer Assistant:
When you
transfer calendar events from desktop software, you select which account to
assign those events to. Look for those events in the account you select (see
How do I get data off my computer?
Enter an event directly in Calendar:
See
for instructions.
You can assign the event to one of your online calendars—if you do, it
synchronizes with the online calendar. Or you can create the event in your
Palm profile account, which means it shows up on your phone only. Palm
profile events are included in the daily backup of your Palm profile
information, so you can restore them if they are accidentally erased.
Layered calendars
Suppose you use the calendar in both Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and in
Google. If you set up both of those accounts to sync with your phone, your
phone's Calendar app shows the events from both in a single view—a
layered calendar with events that are color-coded to identify which provider
they come from. Individual events remain stored separately with your
different providers; the events are just assembled in one view on your phone
for your convenience.
If you change an event, the change is made in the appropriate calendar.
You can also look at the events of just one calendar at a time.
