Overview

This article explains how admin can report on Success Plans. There are two ways to build/customize reports on Success Plans:

  1. Success Plan in Success Snapshots 2.0 template
  2. Custom Reports

Success Plan in Success Snapshots 2.0

When you add a Success Plan to Success Snapshots 2.0 template and enable the ObjectivesTimeline and Task checkboxes, you will see three Success Plan reports, namely: Objective List, Tasks Details and Timeline Details are created under the System folder, on the Reports Repository page. These reports are customizable (Add filters, fields, remove fields, etc.).

For more information on how to add a Success Plan to Success Snapshots 2.0 template, refer to Configure Success Snapshots 2.0 Template.

The following image shows how the Success Plan reports appear in the Report Repository page.

Custom Reports

Admins can also build custom reports on Success Plans and their associated data using the Report Builder. There are three main objects you’ll use for reporting, depending on the data you’re interested in:

  • CTA Group object: contains all Success Plan level data, including the Success Plan name (aka, CTA Group Name), Success Plan types*, plan Description and Action Plan fields, plan status, plan creation and due date, and plan owner. In July 2016, five additional fields are available in the Report Builder: Closed Lost Objective Count, Closed Won Objective Count, Closed Task Count, Open Task Count, and Open Objective Count. These fields contain aggregated values for objective CTAs and tasks and their statuses. Use the CTA Group object to answer questions like: How many Success Plans exist and for which CSMs? How many Success Plans are overdue?
  • Call to action object: contains all objective level data, including CTA objective name, objective status, objective priority, objective due date, and objective owner. Use the Call to action object to answer questions like: How many open CTA Objectives are there?
  • CSTask object: contains all task level data, including Subject (task name), task status, and task due date.

Note: Use the filter IsDraft to exclude Objective CTAs in the draft stage from reports.

Current Limitations:

  • *In order to report on objectives for different plan types, you need to create a formula field on the Call to action object to bring in the plan type(s). See this Salesforce article for guidance on creating formula fields.
  • Percentage calculations and aggregation of Success Plan data is not available at this time.
