How do I enable Sales Insights?

Sales Insights data is mined, evaluated, and analyzed through data analytical and statistical modules. Based on detailed analysis of interactions and historical exchanges, salespeople can gain key insights and take appropriate corrective actions on records to further increase their sales pipeline.

You enable the feature using the opt-in task. If you've permission to configure offerings, then you can use the New Features page to opt in to Sales Insights feature as follows:

  1. Click Navigator > My Enterprise > Offerings work area.

  2. On the Offerings page, select the Sales offering.

  3. Click Change Feature Opt In.

  4. For the Sales root node, click the edit link (pencil icon).

  5. From the Edit Features page, find Sales Insights and select the checkbox in the Enable column.

  6. On the Opt In page, click Done to save the changes and return to the Offerings page.

    For more information, see the New Feature Opt-In section of the Oracle Applications Cloud - Using Functional Setup Manager guide on the Oracle Help Center (docs.oracle.com).

Note: To support opt in with custom layouts for the Account, Lead, and Opportunity objects, you must go to Application Composer and click Show in the Sales Insights section for your custom layout object. See How do I display the Sales Insights section for custom layouts? for more details.
