Modifying business processes

Modify a business process when you want to change details such as who it is assigned to, which accounts it is associated with, or what additional activities need to be performed.

Info

You can modify a business process only before it is submitted. Submitted business processes cannot be modified because they provide an audit trail and a historical record of updates to your contact, company, opportunity, or service request records.

If you have not yet submitted the business process, you can make changes to its details, steps, associations, follow-ups, attachments, and security settings.

To modify a business process:

  1. Navigate to the Contacts workspace to modify a business process for a contact or company. Navigate to the Opportunities workspace to modify a business process for an opportunity. Navigate to the Service Requests workspace to modify a business process for a service request.
  2. Select the contact, company, opportunity, or service request for which you want to modify a business process.
    The record for the selected contact, company, opportunity, or service request is displayed.
  3. Click the Business Processes tab.
    A list of all business processes for the contact, company, opportunity, or service request is displayed.
  4. Click the Action button  for the business process that you want to modify, then select Edit.
    The Edit dialog opens.
  5. Make your desired changes to the business process.
