Options to Enable Partner Programs

Channel organizations can either enable partner programs or not enable them. If channel organizations don't enable partner programs, then they can conduct business with partners without the partner needing to enroll into one of the channel organization's partner programs.

Partner Programs Enabled

If you enable partner programs:

• business intelligence, such as reporting and deals, can use partner program data.

Partner Programs Disabled

If you disable partner programs:

• business intelligence can't use program data, so you will not have reports based on program data

• programs aren't required for Lead Registration.

Note:

If you don't enable partner programs, you should remove all job and duty roles for programs.
