Overview

You are on the road (or at a customer site) and a customer asks you about a problem that he/she is facing. You know that you have solved this problem in the past but you don't have the detailed solution handy. You rack your brains hard but you still Wish you had your FrontSupport support database on your Palm?

Now you can carry your FrontSupport database on your Palm. When a customer asks you a question or you need details of a particular support issue, just whip out your Palm and access your FrontSupport database on your Palm handheld. You will literally have all the answers at your fingertips! How much easier can it get!

 

How it works

FrontSupport & FrontSupportWeb use MS Access as the backend database. Dataviz Inc. (http://www.dataviz.com) offers a software product called "SmartList To Go Suite" for the PalmOS. SmartList To Go Suite has SmartList To Go Desktop and SmartList To Go Sync Manager. SmartList To Go Sync Manager is synchronization software that allows you to bi-directionally sync the database on your Palm with an MS Access table on your desktop.

 

Using the SmartList To Go Sync Manager software, you can sync the FrontSupport's MS Access database and create database on your Palm handheld. This SmartList To Go database on your Palm holds all your support data so that you can access this data using the Palm without having to connect to your central FrontSupport database.

Using the SmartList To Go Sync Manager software, you can periodically sync your Palm's SmartList To Go database with your FrontSupport MS Access database so that any changes made to the FrontSupport database are now available on your Palm handheld.
