Success Plans must be enabled by your Admin to display on the C360/R360 page. Success Plans help CSMs monitor and drive success with individual customers based on objectives and criteria that they define. Success Plans use a Call to Action (CTA) type called Objectives. Admins can create Success Plan templates with Objective CTAs and Playbooks that are mapped to the Objective. Success Plans may be composed of one or more Objective CTAs, and may include associated Tasks, either manually created or applied through Playbooks. For an overview of Success Plans, watch the video Intro to Success Plans.

To enable the Success Plans feature, Admins need to do the following steps:
