Note: Success Plan Horizon Experience upgrade is available in NXT and Hybrid Edition (NXT inside Salesforce).
Newly Added Functionalities
Success Plan Horizon Experience is majorly dominated by the Horizon Design System. The main purpose of the Horizon Design System is to simplify the product and improve customer experience in every way possible such as improving existing functionalities or adding new enhancements. The following are the new functionalities and improvements:
Global Success Plans Page
A dedicated page for Success Plans is now introduced to view Success Plans across all customers and relationships in one place.
Drag-and-Drop to Change Dates
In the Gantt Chart tab, drag-and-drop Objective CTAs/tasks bars to change Start Dates or Due Dates.
Apply Multiple Templates through Rules Engine
In Rules Engine > Setup action, admins can now apply multiple Templates while setting-up a rule for creating Success Plans. For more information, refer to the Load to Success Plans 2.0 Action Type article.
Add Dependency Manually
In Gantt Chart tab, CSMs can now manually add dependency between:
- End date of an Objective CTA and Start Date of another Objective CTA.
- End date of a task and Start Date of another task within the same Objective CTA.
To add the dependency between Objective CTAs/Tasks:
- Drag the end connector of the Objective CTA/Task to the start connector of the dependent Objective CTA/Task.
To delete the dependency between Objective CTAs/Tasks:
- Double click the dependency. Confirmation dialog box is displayed.
- Click Yes.
Notes:
- After adding dependency, moving Objective CTA-2’s Due Date along the timeline will also move the Objective CTA-3’s Start Date to equal distance, but will not have any impact on the Objective CTA-1's Due Date or Start Date.
- When the Objective CTA -2 is dependent on the Objective CTA -1, then the Start Date of the Objective CTA -2 cannot be before the Due Date of Objective CTA-1.
