Due to a technical issue the June video stopped working. The issues have been fixed and the video can be seen by clicking here.

The most unique feature of Act! over the many years is the detail layout, with a series of tabs in a toolbar in the middle of the screen, which was introduced in Version 7 of Act!.

This month’s video will focus on the types of tabs there are in the contact detail table.
