As the name implies, the ACT! Administrative Dashboard is geared towards users who have the role of Administrator of an ACT! database.
There are three administrative components:
User Status
Remote Database Synch Status by User
Remote Database information by User
The first of these components is designed to allow ACT! Administrative a way to view when the various database users log in and out of the ACT! database. The second two components only apply to those databases that have remote synch databases that send and receive information to and from the master database, from a remote location.
If you are the sole user of your ACT! Database, this section will not apply to you. However, if you have multiple users accessing your database then you might find the User Status component to be useful. And, should you have a number of remote users synching their changes back to a master database, you'll definitely want to make use of the two Dashboard components...
