If you have reps in the field, and they synchronize the database, you don’t have to ask them whether they have synchronized recently.  Just click on the Act! dashboard first from your main (aka publisher) database.

If the rep hasn’t synchronized recently, they can go to Tools-> Synchronize Panel -> Synchronize Now in Act! then synchronize the data.
