This step is optional. However, if you already have a list of projects and associated tasks, you can create the structure before creating time entries. Client structure has the following properties:

3. Tap the client you want to add a project, task, or contact.
4. Tap Action->Add Client.../Project.../Task.../Contact....
5. Enter the name of the item and tap Ok.
6. The new item is displayed under the appropriate folder.
7. Repeat step 3 to 6 until you are done.
8. Tap Ok.

To create a task for a project:

1. Tap the project you want to add a task.
2. Tap Action->Add Task....
3. Enter the task name and tap Ok.
4. The new task is displayed under the originally selected project.

2. Copy the text file onto \My Documents directory on your Pocket PC using Windows Explorer.
3. From main screen, tap Menu->Setup->Clients....
