What is the difference between a Networked and a Standalone Team account?

The "access mode" setting controls how your seats interact with your data.

There are two different types of Team accounts available: 

1. Networked Accounts: This option allows contacts to be shared with all users on the team account. Each user will read from the same database for their contacts and folders. With this option, the Contact Manager is controlled by the Team Admin and all folders are created through the admin's account.
   
   Recommend for smaller teams that have a group understanding about which contacts each user is working. There is a risk that users could select and dial the same contacts at the same time. 
   
   Hypothetical application: non-commission based sales teams where transparency is at the forefront.
   
   This option is most commonly used by Mortgage teams where a Loan Officer has one or two assistants helping to make calls throughout the week. 
   
   Not recommend for commission-based teams.

2. Standalone Accounts: This option allows for each user on a team to have a contact list that is separate from all other users on the team. Each user will have his/her own contact manager and folders.
   
   Recommend for teams that need to have contacts separated for each user.
   
   Hypothetical application: Each user on the team will be set up with their own contact manager to maintain their contacts. The admin has access to each user's account (by logging in as the user) and the contacts within the contact manager.
   
   Bonus: The LeadStream option is available for team accounts that have a Standalone access mode. The admin can still create standard folders, Disposition Buttons, One-touch Emails, and many other options for the entire team to utilize.

To change your set up, you can go to the Team tab and click the settings gear icon and choose Settings/ General.  

Please be aware that all contacts in agent accounts must be transferred to the admin account before switching from Standalone to Networked.
