security provides additional control and more secure information
- Sage 50 ACT! Premium 2008 deliver field level security which allows
administrators to restrict user and team access by granting Read-Only
Access or No Access to certain fields. As the organization grows,
simply add users to a team and permissions are updated. Further, administrators
can control which users can delete data and/or export data to Excel
using custom user permissions to enforce security. And, from a Contact
View, mark permissions as public, private, or simply select users
or teams that you want to have access to that data and limit the access
to specific users or teams, quickly and easily. |
| Advanced
opportunity tracking for more accurate data and better reporting
- In Sage 50 ACT! Premium, customize Opportunity User Fields, including
the type and dropdown, so organizations can tailor ACT! to their unique
business. Change field names as well as field types in order to capture
the most accurate information. Administrators can change the field
type to make it currency, decimal, or number fields. Drop down fields
are available in the User Fields, even make them multi-select values,
to ensure data consistency. In addition, fields can be adapted and
customized to generate a history from a field, to make a field mandatory,
to disable the editing of a field, and to change the field length. |
| Advanced
workgroup functionality designed to boost team productivity -Administrators,
managers, and individual users can easily view team membership. Anywhere
a team name is displayed, simply right click to view individuals that
make up that team. Group scheduling functionality includes at-a-glance
user availability for everyone in the database, the ability to manage
and define resources, and task bar notifications when a meeting invitation
is sent. Users can automate when Outlook calendar synchronization
occurs, even when the database is not open, calendars will remain
in sync so workgroups always have a pulse on important meetings and
availability of colleagues whether activities were scheduled in ACT!
or Outlook. |
