Plans setup

NOTE: If you require instructions on how to access this page, click here.

 

NOTE: You cannot edit, rename, or delete activities in the default plans. If you want to modify one of the default plans you must make a copy, and then edit the copied version. If you do modify a default plan you will be prompted to do so automatically upon saving. Check the info icon at the top of the page to see if you are working in a default or personal plan.

NOTE: Once you have applied a default action plan to several contacts, you cannot make global changes. It is recommended that you create a personal plan to apply, as with Auto-apply action plans.

  1. Click the tab for the type of plan you want to work with: Action plans, Listing plans, Closing plans, Marketing report plans and Closing report plans.

NOTE: If you are working with Marketing report and/or Closing report plans, they are handled differently. Click here to manage these types of plans.
 

  1. From the [plan type] plan name drop-down list box, select the plan you want to work with.
     

  2. To create a new plan click the Create new link above the drop-down list box. The new plan is displayed, but will be empty. Click here for information about adding new activities to the plan. When finished, click OK to display the Save action plan window. Type a name for the new plan and click OK.
     

  3. To copy the selected plan click the Copy link above the drop-down list box. The Copy [plan type] plan: [plan name] dialog appears. Type a name for the new plan and click OK. The newly copied plan is displayed. Click here for information about adding new activities to the plan.
     

  4. To rename the selected plan click the Rename link above the drop-down list box. The Rename [plan type] plan: [plan name] window appears. Type a new name for the plan and click OK.

  6. The Sort chronologically check box is selected by default, and is relevant for printing reports, working with activities in Today's business, and My schedule. If the check box is selected, the activities in the list will be sorted by date order (using the From column):

 

If the check box is cleared, the activities in the list will be sorted according to parent activities in an action plan, followed by their dependent sub-activities, or children (using the Days column).

 

  1. Use the action menu to manage the activities within a plan.

 

  1. Click Close.

 

NOTE: When you modify a plan, the changes will not affect plans that have already been applied to contacts. If you need to make changes to a contact's follow-up actions you can do so from the contact record.
