    New user, looking for "How to"s...

    Hello, I picked up DJO (Android) today and am impressed from the quality of the "package" so far, but I am looking for "how to do" a few things...

    a) When I set up a new contact and add a birthday, is there no way to add this birthday to the calendar as an entry? From what I read, I probably could do that via syncing with the PC, adding there as a calendar entry etc, but.. .? I could see how adding all birthdays automatically would be bad, but just having the option to add an entry to the calendar..?

    b) I fear I am not missing an option that allows you to enter dates via a keyboard, am I? Many of the more-business phones have keys, and having to swipe through months and years is .. counter-intuitive. Is there a hidden configuration option for that? Asking for implementation of additional UI elements probably will not be too succesful.

    c) Can you disable/not-display selected fields from the contacts fields somehow? E.g. I will never use nicknames, second names, suffixes etc, so that would all be fields I could get rid off and scroll faster. I would not mind the fields still existing (compatibility, I know), but just not displaying them maybe?

    Are you talking about DejaOffice or native Android.
    If the latter, you're probably wrong here since this forum discusses topics around DejaOffice and Companionlink Synchronization Software.
    Otherwise, we need to know what device you are using, it's Android version, the DJO and CL versions as well as your type of synchronization.
    Google Pixel, Android 10 German, DJO 4.4.32 (1221)
    Office: Win10 x64, Outlook 365 (v2020, up to date) German, CL Express 7062 --- Local WiFi sync --- manual syncing, daily
    Home: Win10 x64, Outlook 365 (v2020, up to date) German, CL Express 7062 --- Local WiFi sync --- manual syncing, occasionally
    Syncing to native Android contacts (DJO account), not syncing to native Android calendar

      Hello,

      I am talking DejaOffice, sorry for not specifically mentioning this in this forum. The (Android) was just referencing my general platform...

      With that out of the way, at the moment I am not looking at any sync'ing for the moment, but rather deciding on a contacts/calendar platform to use for my Android. So far, I am using a Motorala Milestone 2 which comes with 2.2 Android.

      Having done some (..) reading in this forum, I gather that all the things I was asking for are just non-supported in DJO (1.12.2) atm?

      Another issue coming up for me is renaming of the categories - while I do not mind having a business and personal category, I wanted to rename them. Doing so and re-entering the category screen, I come back to see the "old, renamed" categories returned, yay. And yes, I have tried un- and re-installing DJO, deleting the clusb folder in between, as I feared having messed something up.
