Managing Opportunities

You may want to modify the members of the sales team for an opportunity or change the primary team member designation. When the existing primary is a direct report, a manager can change the primary team designate using the Opportunity Sales Team view. If you are logged in as an administrator, you can change the primary team designate for any opportunity in the Opportunity Administration view.

You can also secure an opportunity in order to restrict visibility in the All Opportunities view to just the members of the sales team. When the Secure field is checked, the opportunity is hidden from other users. A secured opportunity can only be viewed by members of the sales team from the All Opportunities or the My Opportunities view.

NOTE:  The primary sales team member for an opportunity can also add and delete sales team members, and edit the Secure flag setting.

To add or delete members of the sales team for an opportunity

1. Navigate to Opportunities > Opportunities List view.
2. In the Opportunities list, drill down on the desired opportunity.
3. In the Sales Team field, click the select button.
4. To add an employee to the sales team, select the employee and click Add in the Tam Members dialog box.
5. To delete an employee from the sales team, select the employee in the Selected Team Members list and click Remove.

To secure an opportunity
