Step 4 - Enable and Set the Individual ACT! Users

This is where you enable/disable which users get converted into the corresponding Outlook Folders. A few things:
·Even if a user is excluded from the conversion, the History/Notes items owned by that user are still converted to the contact body text with the corresponding user ownership.  
·For users that intend to share a contact folder, all the Outlook Contact Folders must be the same. You time purposes, you should only convert 1 folder and then setup the contact filters for the other users not to convert.  
·If you are converting more than 16K contacts into Outlook 2000 and 2002, the conversion will fail due to folder limitation of 16K. That is NOT the case with Outlook 2003.  

Select the contact filter for the user

Each user has 5 primary filtering options to convert contacts:  
1.Convert All: All the contacts are converted  
2.Convert Calendar: Only contacts that have calendar items (calls, meetings or todo's) that are not cleared are selected.  
3.Convert Group: Convert only a selected group and/or subgroups.  
4.Do Not Convert Contacts: No contacts are converted for this user.

Include Private ACT! Contacts. When this option is set, private contacts are included in the conversion. If unset, no contacts flagged as private are converted to the Outlook Folder.  
Match ACT! Record Manager Field for Contacts and Activities. Each ACT! Contact and Activity has a Record Manager Field. When set, only records that have a record manager ID equal to the ACT! User being converted are brought over.
