Making records private
In all PIM applications, except Expense, you can make individual records private. Private records
remain visible and accessible, however, until you select the Security setting to hide or mask all
private records. See the section that begins on page 43 for details.
Hiding and masking private records
You can hide records that you mark as private. When you hide records, they do not appear
anywhere in the application. When you mask records, a visual placeholder appears where the
record would normally appear. If you define a password, you must enter it to display private
records.
Note: As a security measure, masked Contacts records are temporarily hidden when you search
for records. So you will not see a placeholder for these records when viewing the results
of a Lookup or Find request.
To make a record private:
1. Display the entry that you want to make private.
2. Tap Details.
3. Tap the Private check box to select it.
4. Hold Option and press Return to finish.
To hide or mask all private records:

4. Tap the Current Privacy pick list.
5. Tap either Hide Records or Mask Records.
