Relationships

Relationships contains Options, Fields and Picklist Values that configure Stakeholders and their relationships.

Options 

Image Removed

Control Opportunity Contact Roles

Enable this feature to allow ClosePlan to automatically create/delete/update Opportunity Contact Roles while managing Stakeholders.

If ClosePlan Stakeholders have the same Role definition as Opportunity Contact Roles (Recommended), value will be synchronized when creating Stakeholders from Contact Roles or when Contact Roles created/updated based on Stakeholder changes. 

Note: Changes made directly to Contact Roles are not propagated back to Stakeholders due to Salesforce limitations on Opportunity Contact Role object. Once ClosePlan is deployed, Users should work with Stakeholders only.

Note: Whereas one contact may represent multiple Stakeholders on different Opportunities or Account maps (e.g. Budget Owner, Champion, etc), propagation to the contact does not happen. Doing so would mean that the contact would be assigned one role across all instances.

=> If enabled and you will deploy a template, Contact Roles on the Opportunity will be propagated to the Role on the Stakeholders. If you want to change the Role, you have to change it on the Stakeholder and it will propagate the change to the Contact Role on the Opportunity.

  • Toggle the button to enable the function and Save.

           Image Removed

Stakeholders Always On Map 

When enabled, all Stakeholders will be always present on the map and the Unmapped list will be removed.

Note: Removing Stakeholders from the map will behave the same as if deleted. Stakeholders are removed from the Opportunity.

  • Toggle the button to enable the function and Save.

          Image Removed

          Disabled = unmapped Stakeholders are found under the Unmapped Stakeholders icon

          Image Removed

          Enabled = The Unmapped Stakeholders icon is not available and Stakeholders are always in the map. If a Stakeholder is removed, they will be placed in the Contact list.

Note

Make sure that mapped fields are able to receive the intended values properly. Options like max. length, picklist values, etc. should match the ClosePlan definition of the Stakeholder object. If you are not sure, ask your administrator for assistance.

Picklist Value
