    Sales Process

    The selected Sales Process is Process is displayed as Sales Stages in the Playbook. Sales Stages contain Events.

    A Sales Process must be active and selected from the Template list to create a ClosePlan.

    Note

    The Sales Process contains Record Record Types. If the Opportunity has a different Record Type than the selected Sales Process in your Template, you will be prevented from uploading the template into the Opportunity until you change the Record Type on the Opportunity. 

    ClosePlan will allow Users to choose a Template only when the Sales Process is the same as on the Opportunity or when the Template Stage Auto-Progression settings are inactive on the Template.

    To change the Record Type on the Opportunity > click the Image Modified button right up > select Change Record Type > select the Record Type set for the Sales Process you have selected in the template > click Next and Save.Image Removed

    NOTE: 

    Event behavior also affects the dependency settings on other events and the checklist items settings.
    Checklist items are set when you create or edit Events.
    Dependencies are set only when the Event is created and in edit mode

    If a Dependency and/or a Checklist are set as required, the User will be prevented from closing the Event and/or the Stage until completed.
    If an Event contains required Checklist items, the user must first complete the Checklist items before closing the Event.
    If an Event contains required Checklist items, and also contains a required dependency on the another Event, the user must complete the Checklist first,
    then the dependent Event. Only then can the mandatory event be closed by the User.

    Event Sync settings

    Event Sync settings enable synchronization of data from the Playbook template with fields from the Opportunity or ClosePlan - specifically Event Status and Checklist progress.

    Individual data can be propagated on the Opportunity layout or in the Reports. 

    Settings are made to the template from which you want to propagate data. If there are multiple active templates, you need to set up sync for each template from which data will be propagated.

    To assign the sync, the custom fields on the Opportunity or ClosePlan Object need to be created. To propagate data to the Opportunity layout, the custom fields need to be created on the Opportunity Object. 


    • Go to Templates > open the Template from which you want to propagate data.

      • Note: if there is more than 1 template activated, and would you like to have data from every active template, you must set the sync in each template.

    • Go

      to 

      to Playbook
