  • If you do not select a playbook here, you can still apply a playbook from the CTA detail view. You can also replace the playbook.
  • You can apply a playbook while creating a CTA from Cockpit tab, Account Widget, Opportunity Widget, Case Widget and C360/R360 Cockpit tab.

2. Location:  Administration > Cockpit Configuration > Call to action type

Milestones are now configurable for Risk and Objective type CTAs. The Milestone type that corresponds with a CTA is based on the configuration mappings for open and closed milestones. Earlier, for CTAs of the Risk type, milestone types were fixed to Risk Identified and Risk Resolved. Now, these milestone types are configurable.
