Understanding the shared data base
Nozmo 17.08.2006 13:31:02
If we are sharing data on a small network, if anyone in the group links an
email to a contact, creates a note, sets an appointment, that information is
seen on all computers sharing the data base?

Can the data reside on a network and also on a lap top - the lap then
sycning the data back to the network?

The answer to your first question is: it depends. If a user creates an
appointment in their local Outlook and links it to a BCM contact, then
only that user will open the Outlook appointment when they double-click
on the appointment in the contact's history. The other users will only
get a form with appointment's title and a few other fields. That same
rule to other activities.

As far as laptops go, with the current version of BCM, the user would
need to manually synchronize their laptop by exporting and importing
files. BCM v3 (now in beta) has a feature called Offline that automates
the syncronization.
