Two-way Opportunity Contact Roles Sync
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), the value will be synchronized when creating Stakeholders from Contact Roles or when Contact Roles are created/updated based on Stakeholder changes.
Note: One Contact may represent more than 1 Stakeholder on different Opportunities or Account Maps (e.g. Budget Owner on one map, Champion on another, 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, Contact Roles on the Opportunity will be propagated to the Role on the Stakeholders.
Toggle the button to enable the function and click Save.
Prevent Duplicate Contacts when Creating Opportunity Contact Roles
Enable this feature to prevent Users/processes from creating Contact Roles associated with Contacts already referenced by other Contact Roles.
Note: This behavior will be enforced whether the Opportunity has a deployed ClosePlan or not.
Stakeholders Always On Map
When enabled, all Stakeholders will be present on the Map surface and the 'Unmapped' list will be removed.
Note: Removing Stakeholders from the Map will behave the same as if deleted from the Map: Stakeholders will be removed from the Relationship map.
Toggle the button to enable the function and Save.
If disabled: Unmapped Stakeholders are found under the Stakeholders tab.
If enabled: All Stakeholders are always on the map.
If a Stakeholder is removed, they will be deleted from the map and moved to the Contact tab list.

If you are not sure, ask your System Administrator for assistance or send an email to support@people.ai
Picklist Values
Picklist Values define the options users can select for each Stakeholder Attribute. What is set up in the admin is what users will see and can choose when configuring or updating Stakeholder details.
Changes in Picklist Values will change the configuration in your administration Setup in Salesforce.

Color Tags
Enable Users to enrich Relationship Maps with contextual insights through a dedicated side panel containing two components:
Annotations
Users can enter map-specific notes, strategic observations, stakeholder insights and more directly within the Relationship Map. Annotations are associated with each map, providing persistent context for deal teams.
Color Tags
A visible color legend displays admin-defined stakeholder tags and their meanings, eliminating ambiguity around color-coding conventions. Users can quickly understand the standardized taxonomy (e.g., Champion, Blocker, Economic Buyer) established by their organization.
Color Tags are drag-and-drop, allowing Users to quickly and correctly assign colors to Stakeholders on Relationship Maps.
