Associate Other Records with an Opportunity
Associating
records from other modules to an opportunity allows you to improve
visibility and workflows, integrate the opportunity with campaigns
and keep track of activities on the opportunity. Associating an opportunity with a product or service quickly informs staff members which of your offerings are under discussion with the contact or organization.
To view, add and manage associated records:
- Click 'All' > 'Opportunities'
- Click any opportunity to open its detail page
The
menu on the right shows modules that can be associated with the
opportunity. Click any of these links to view records that have
already been associated with the opportunity.
You can use these links to create records in the other modules which will be linked to the campaign.
You can associate following records with opportunities:
- Activities - Schedule a meetings, calls and To-dos on the opportunity record
- Contacts - Select a new contact and associate with the opportunity record
- Products – Select existing products to the product record
- Quotes - Create a new quote and associate with the opportunity record
- Sales Order - Create a new sales order and associate with the opportunity record
- Services - Select the services and associate with the opportunity record

- Click on an opportunity in the list then click 'Services' on the right
The interface allows you to:
