What are the User 1, User 2, User 3,
and User 4 fields on the New Address
screen?
These fields are custom fields where you can add
information about your contacts, such as spouse name
or nickname. You can set up your BlackBerry® Desktop
Software to synchronize with these custom fields in
your desktop email program.
You can only synchronize the information in a custom
field with a text field in your desktop email program.
For example, you cannot add a contact’s birthday in a
custom field and synchronize it with your desktop
email program. The birthday field is a date field in your
desktop email program, not a text field.
To change the field name for a custom field, when
creating or editing a contact, click the trackwheel.
Click Change Field Name.
See the BlackBerry Desktop Software Online Help for
more information about synchronizing custom fields
with fields in your desktop email program.
Why does the Add Custom Phone
Tune option not appear?
The Add Custom Phone Tune option does not appear
in the menu if a custom phone tune has already been
added for the contact. A Calls From profile exception
appears in the profiles list for contacts with a custom
phone tune.
