SideACT!

SideACT! is a stand-alone application that you can use to quickly take notes about calls, meetings and to-do’s. It replaces the desk cluttering-paper note pads many use for reminders and to-do lists. You can use SideACT! when ACT! is not running.

SideACT! items you enter appear in a numbered list that you can print. You can categorize items, change their order, mark them completed, and delete them. Once entered, SideACT! items can easily be converted to ACT! activities and associated with one or more contacts.

SideACT! is a stand-alone application that you can use to quickly take notes about calls, meetings and to-do’s. It replaces the desk-cluttering paper note pads many use for reminders and to-do lists. You can use SideACT! when ACT! is not running.

SideACT! items you enter appear in a numbered list that you can print. You can categorize items, change their order, mark them completed, and delete them. Once entered, SideACT! items can easily be converted to ACT! activities and associated with one or more contacts.


When you install ACT!, SideACT! is automatically installed. The SideACT! icon is placed in the Windows desktop taskbar. By default, the taskbar appears at the bottom of your desktop. This area also displays the system time and may display icons for other applications. During installation you can also place shortcuts to ACT! and SideACT! on your Windows desktop.

If you move the mouse pointer over the SideACT! icon in the taskbar, the number of to-do’s, calls, meetings, and completed items are displayed for the last SideACT! file that you opened.


Opening SideACT!

 Overview

You can open SideACT! using any of the following methods:

Double-click the SideACT! icon in the Windows taskbar or right-click the icon and choose Open from the shortcut menu.

Double-click the SideACT! icon on your Windows desktop if available.

Click the Windows Start menu and choose Programs > ACT! for Windows > SideACT!

Click the SideACT! tool in the main ACT! toolbar.

Choose the SideACT! command in the ACT! Tools menu.

Note:
If you accidently choose Exit from the taskbar shortcut menu, SideACT! closes and the SideACT! icon is removed from the taskbar. Use any available method to open SideACT! and the icon reappears. If you want the taskbar icon to remain hidden, choose Preferences from the Edit menu and select the appropriate option.


SideACT! opens with the cursor positioned in the text entry area so that you can begin typing immediately. The number of items you can enter in SideACT! is limited only by your system’s memory.


When an item is added to the SideACT! Item List, SideACT! automatically categorizes the item as a call, meeting, or to-do. By default, SideACT! categorizes any new item that you add to the list as a to-do. However, you can change the type of individual items after they are added to the Item List. You can also change the default setting for how information is categorized when it is added to the Item List.

Moving or copying items from SideACT! to ACT!
Moving and copying items from SideACT! to ACT!

Overview	Related Topics
Do one of the following:

If ACT! and the database to which you want to move or copy items are not open, select the item and use the Move To Database or Copy To Database command in the Send To ACT! menu or the equivalent tool in the SideACT! toolbar. Use this method if, like most users, you do not typically run ACT! and SideACT! at the same time.

If ACT! and the database to which you want to move or copy an item are open, drag the item from SideACT! and drop it on a date or time in a calendar, on the current contact record, or on a contact in the Contact List. This method may be convenient if you run ACT! and SideACT! at the same time.

Note
There is no link between items that you copy from SideACT! to an ACT! database. If you copy an item to ACT!, then modify the item in SideACT!, the corresponding item in the ACT! database is unchanged.

When you move or copy an active item to ACT!, you schedule the item with a single contact. (You cannot assign items to multiple contacts.) The item is given a default duration and priority. The text of the Regarding field of the SideACT! item becomes the Regarding field in the ACT! activity; if the text is too long to fit in the ACT! Regarding field, the remaining text appears in the activity details.


If you have multiple databases and you always send SideACT! items to the same database, specify a default ACT! database for SideACT! to open when you copy or move using tools or menu commands. If you have only one ACT! database, you do not need to specify a default database for SideACT! to open. If you do not specify a default database, SideACT! automatically sends items to the last database that you opened.

Note
The database you specify applies to all of your SideACT! files. You cannot open different ACT! databases from different SideACT! files.


Specifying an ACT! database to open from SideACT!

Overview	Related Topics
1.	In SideACT!, choose Select ACT! Database from the Send to ACT! menu.

The Select ACT! Database dialog box appears.

2.	Enter a path for the database you want to open, or click the Browse button to locate a database.

3.	Do one of the following:

Click OK/Launch ACT! to close the dialog box and open the ACT! database you specified.

Click OK to close the dialog box without opening the database you specified.


By default, when you move or copy an item from SideACT! to your ACT! database using the tools or menu commands, SideACT! prompts you to select a contact with whom to schedule active items. You can change this setting so that SideACT! automatically sends the items to the My Record of the selected database.

Note
When you move or copy completed SideACT! items, the completed items are placed in the Notes/History tab of the My Record of the selected database.


Specifying a default contact for SideACT! items

Overview	Related Topics
1.	From the Edit menu, choose Preferences.

The Preferences dialog box appears.

2.	In the When Sending Items To ACT! group box, specify the location in your ACT! database to which you want to send SideACT! items.

If you select Send To My Record, active items are sent to the Activities tab of the My Record.

If you select Prompt Me To Select A Contact, SideACT! displays a message asking you to select a contact whenever you move or copy an item using the tools or menu commands. When you select a contact, active items are sent to the Activities tab of the selected contact's record.

3.	When you have selected a default destination, click OK.


By default, SideACT! displays a confirmation message each time you move or copy items to your ACT! database using the tools or menu commands. If you always send SideACT! items to the same database, you can change this default setting. If you usually send your SideACT! items to multiple databases, it is best to leave this option selected to ensure that you always move items to the correct database.


Receiving a confirmation message when sending items to ACT!

Overview	Related Topics
Choose Preferences from the Edit menu and turn on or off the Display Confirmation Dialog Before Transferring Activities To ACT! option.


You can open ACT! from within SideACT! at any time. By default, SideACT! opens the database that you specified as your startup database in ACT!

Click the Start ACT! tool in the SideACT! toolbar.

From the Send to ACT! menu, choose Start ACT!


If an ACT! database is open, you can drag a SideACT! item and drop it onto a date or time in a calendar, onto the current contact record, or onto a contact in the Contact List.

Note

Working with SideACT! items in your ACT! database

 Overview

When you have moved or copied a SideACT! item into your ACT! database, it is no different from any existing activity in your database. You can work with the activity in any way you want. To change the attributes for an activity that you have moved or copied from SideACT!, you can double-click the activity and make changes in the Schedule Activity dialog box that appears.

Note
Because there is no link between items that you copy from SideACT! to your ACT! database, it is recommended that you work with the item in one location only (either in SideACT! or in your ACT! database) so you can keep track of any changes that you make to that item.
