Category and Question Sync settings
Category and Question Sync settings enable synchronization of data from the scorecard template with fields from the Opportunity or ClosePlan.
Scorecard Categories and Questions Sync will show % Score or Score in points.
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 templates (or multiple versions), you need to set up sync for each template (versions) from which data will be propagated.
To assign the sync, the custom fields on the Opportunity or ClosePlan need to be created. To propagate data to the Opportunity layout, the custom fields need to be created on the Opportunity.
Category Sync Setting
- Go to Templates > open the Template from which you want to propagate data.
- Note: if there is more than 1 template or template version, and would you like to have data from every template or version, you must set the sync in each template/version.
- Go to Scorecard > click the Category Sync settings icon
- Select Target Object - the object where you created the category fields (Opportunity or ClosePlan)
- From Score % Field or Score Points Field select the created category field. The values must match.
- e.g. If you are setting sync for Metrics scorecard category in %, the field created for Metrics category as percent type must be selected.
- Save
- Repeat steps to set sync for other categories
