Visionnez la brève vidéo sur le nouveau processus de configuration ICI.
Comme vous pouvez le voir sur la vidéo ci-dessus, une configuration minimale est requise car les utilisateurs entrent simplement leurs identifiants de base de données et leur emplacement, spécifient le groupe auquel ils souhaitent synchroniser, ainsi que les champs qu’ils veulent inclure, et la synchronisation commence immédiatement. Certaines fonctionnalités comme les soumissions et la géolocalisation seront ajoutées au fil du temps avec les mises à jour ultérieures. Plus besoin d’attendre la console HHC car de longues files d’attente pourraient entraîner des retards dans les mises à jour. Avec Handheld Contact API, tous les utilisateurs et les appareils obtiennent leurs mises à jour directement à partir de la source, immédiatement.

Comme toutes les nouvelles technologies, il y a certaines caractéristiques qui évolueront au fil du temps comme l’API Web de Act! se développe, et notre obligation avec ce service d’abonnement est de réduire l’écart de fonctionnalités aussi rapidement que possible. Cependant, certaines choses ne sont pas sous notre contrôle, et les utilisateurs doivent prendre note que l’API fournit des contrôles configurables limités sur qui obtient quelles données sur leurs appareils. Bien que nous avons ajouté l’option de synchronisation avec les groupes, nous ne pouvons pas imposer quel groupe un utilisateur sélectionne pour synchroniser avec. L’absence de la console de Handheld Contact limite certains des administrateurs de sécurité centralisés. Si cela demeure une priorité pour votre entreprise, nous vous recommandons de continuer à utiliser notre ancienne version de HHC.
Ce qui suit est une comparaison de fonctionnalités des trois versions de Handheld Contact que nous offrons.

Handheld Contact API - Foire aux questions (FAQ)
The WebAPI that HHC syncs with cannot detect if a contact has been added dynamically to a group, only if that same contact record is edited in anyway. To combat this, we made HHC check the quantity of contacts in a group, and its 5+ more than the device, it will prompt to resend all contacts (contacts only). Since this process is so blazingly fast, 10K records might take 2-3 minutes only
