The Features tab helps you create a list of products and their associated features. This list then appears on the C360 page, which can help you manage and track the products and features used by a customer, and whether they are Licensed/Enabled. In addition, you can use the rules engine to manage (Selecting Licensed/Enabled checkbox) the list of products and features under the Features tab using the Load to Feature Action type.

This feature is most commonly used to view the current status of products and features for a customer, and determine if there is an opportunity for upsell based on the usage data.
