Abstract
The method and apparatus described herein provides a system for displaying personal information management (PIM) data on a personal digital assistant (PDA). The PIM data may be shared by multiple users and modified at the PDA displaying the data, at another PDA, and/or at a personal computer. When the same data field is changed by more than one device, the system displays the most recent version of the data as the primary data field with a symbol to indicate a subordinate data field is available in memory. By selecting the symbol, the user may swap the primary and subordinate data fields.
