Conversion options provides you with a set of options used when converting.

Duplicate Found Actions  
Check for Duplicates. This instructs Outlook-To-ACT Migration Professional to check for duplicates during the conversion. Duplicate checking is done as follows:  
·First, the Outlook contact is analyzed whether it has been converted to ACT! before. If this is true, the contact in ACT! is then updated with the information from Outlook.  
·Second, if no match has been found, check whether there is an Email Address in ACT! that matches the contact in Outlook.  
·Third and last duplicate check. Check if we can find a contact using the Duplicate Finding Strategy.  
·If none of the above searches come with a positive match, then a new contact is created.  
 
Enable Intelligent Updater. When selected, Outlook-To-ACT Migration Professional will only analyze Outlook contacts to be transferred if the Modification Date of that contact is more recent since the last conversion.  
 
Phone Extension Prefix  
The phone extension prefix is the alphanumeric character you use when entering a phone number extension in the same line as the phone number i.e. (408)555-1212 ext. 123 . In this case, the software will look for the extension prefix and enter the phone extension into the appropriate ACT! phone extension field. In addition, extension prefixes such e and ex are automatically scanned in the Outlook Phone Number  
 
 
Addressing Options  
Country Code: Enter the country code used.  
 
Intelligent Address Conversion. When enabled, the address from Outlook is split up into fields and entered into the ACT! contact fields. For example, an Outlook address looks like 234 Street Ave., Suite 234, P.O. Box 893 . When this option is enabled, these fields are mapped into ACT! in the following way:  
 
ACT! Address 1 Field: 234 Street Ave.  
ACT! Address 2 Field: Suite 234  
ACT! Address 3 Field: P.O. Box 893  
 
Make Salutation for ACT! First Name. Outlook does not have the concept of Salutation. Also, in many instances, Outlook does not provide for the first name to come over. Setting this option, you ensure that the first name of the contact is set to the Salutation in ACT!  
 
Options  
Convert Outlook Categories into ACT! Groups. When set, this option converts the Outlook Categories into ACT! Groups with the contact being a member of that group. If Full Group Update is unset, the group information is added (cumulative) to the current ACT! group membership.  
 
Full Group Update. When set, it instructs Outlook-To-ACT Migration Professional to fully update the group membership of the contact in ACT!.  
Convert Body Text into ACT! History. When set, this option converts the body text of an Outlook Contact (the notes on the Contact Window) into an ACT! History Event named "Contact Note From Outlook" on the subject line.
