If a user holds one of the campaign's orders, they can have a To Do entry generated on a future date to remind them about the order. Use Default Hold To Do Role to define the group of users to whom the To Do entry will be sent. Note well, the user who holds an order can indicate that the related To Do entry should be addressed to a specific user ID rather than a Role.

Use Order Open Option to define the page that is displayed when a user adds a new order for this campaign. This field is only relevant when the order transaction is invoked in "add mode" and a campaign is passed to this transaction (e.g., if a user adds an order from the Applicable Campaigns Zone).

A user can be automatically transferred to a different transaction when they complete an order. Refer to Supported Business Processes for examples of transactions that we anticipate being used. Use Navigation Option to define this transaction. Note,

  • Leave Navigation Option blank if the user should remain on the order transaction after completion.
  • You can setup Navigation Options to transfer to the user to a tab other than the main tab.

If a user is allowed to complete this campaign's order's without selecting a package,

  • Turn on Allow Order Compl w/o Package and
  • Use Order Compl w/o Package Label to define the message to appear in the button used to complete such orders.
