Functionality and
features
How do ACT! and ACT! Premium for
Workgroups differ?
ACT! is designed for individuals,
sales professionals and sales teams
of up to 10 users who share data.
ACT! Premium for Workgroups is for
sales teams, small business and
corporate workgroups who require
greater scalability and data
sharing, more flexible deployment
options, advanced workgroup
functionality and additional
administration and security
features.
With ACT!, can I have more than
10 users who share the same
database?
No, with ACT! you cannot have more
than 10 users sharing data. If you
require more than 10 users sharing
data, you must use ACT! Premium for
Workgroups or ACT! Premium for Web.
Can I run ACT! 2006 and ACT! 2007
on the same machine?
No, ACT! 2006 and ACT! 2007 cannot
be running on the same machine.
If I’m in a workgroup, do all
customers have to have the same
version?
Yes, all users sharing a database
must have the same version.
Can you run both ACT! and ACT!
Premium for Workgroups side by side?
No, you can have only one version of
the product line on the same
machine.
Can ACT!, ACT! Premium for
Workgroups, and ACT! Premium for Web
be located behind a firewall?
Yes.
Can you limit which contacts can be
viewed by certain users?
Yes, you can make contacts private
so that other users in the database
cannot access those contacts via
ACT!, or if using Premium product,
they can be restricted by user or
team.
What is the difference between
Microsoft® Outlook® Integration in
ACT! 2007 and previous versions of
ACT!?
This release focuses on deeper
integration of Outlook E-mail and
ACT!. Now, we’ve extended the
integration inside of ACT!, allowing
users to e-mail using the Outlook
e-mail form. Sage Software has also
improved the creation of histories
sent from Outlook. This improvement
matches on the contacts e-mail
address and creates a history when
it finds a match. This means that
users don’t have to specifically
address e-mail using the ACT!
address book to record a history.
We’ve also added new features to our
Outlook integration including the
ability to create ACT! contacts from
the sender’s e-mail address and add
ACT! Premium for Web Address books
to Outlook.
Do all my ACT! 2006 features
exist in ACT! 2007?
Yes, ACT! 2007 is a superset of ACT!
2006 and all features are available
in ACT! 2007. Please note, however,
that menu and toolbar customizations
do not convert.
Will all my data convert from
ACT! 2006 to ACT! 2007, or from ACT!
Premium for Workgroups 2006 to ACT!
Premium for Workgroups 2007?
Yes, all your data will convert from
ACT! 2006 to ACT! 2007 - with the
exception of menu and toolbar
customizations.
Is the actual 2006 database
converted, or just copied, when
upgrading to 2007?
The actual 2006 database is
converted. Before a conversion takes
place, you are prompted to perform a
backup.
Can I save my data back to
previous versions?
No, data cannot be saved back to a
previous version. Once data has been
converted, there is no way to get it
back to its pre-9.0 state. It is for
this reason that we recommend that
all users back up their 2006
database, prior to moving to ACT!
2007.
Does all of my ACT! 6.0
functionality exist in ACT! 2007?
Certain features have changed or are
no longer available, including
inbound caller ID functionality,
WinFax integration, recording and
playback of macros,
e-mail/modem–based database
synchronization, and SideACT!.
Several aspects of the system
requirements have been updated. It
is recommended that you carefully
review the system requirements for
compatibility and acceptance prior
to upgrading.
