Plot data from ACT!
This article demonstrates how to plot ACT! data records in MapBusinessOnline (MBO). Since there is no direct integration between ACT! and MBO, we will need to export data from ACT! first and then plot it in MBO.

Import data in MBO
Once ACT! data records are in Excel, you can either save them in a file and plot from there, or copy-paste the data records directly into MBO. Follow the instructions in Copy & paste data from spreadsheet article to plot your data.
