Field sales
This documentation is valid for Creatio version 7.16.0. We recommend using the newest version of Creatio documentation.

Set up visit actions

Use the [Field visit rules] lookup to set up the list of activities that must be completed during a visit.

To add an action:

1.Click btn_system_designer00002.png in the main Creatio application. The System Designer will open.

2.Go to the [System setup] block –> click [Lookups].

3.Click the [Field sales rules] lookup.

4.Select a rule and click btn_edit.png (Fig. 1).

5.On the rule page, expand the [Actions during visit] detail and click [+].

6.Populate the columns of the new record:

a.Select the visit action type: “Check-in“, “Check-out” “Presentation,“ etc.

b.Use the [Actions priority order] column, to set up a sequence of sales rep activities. For example, if the action is the first in the “to-do” list, enter “1“.

c.Select the [Required] checkbox for the actions that should not be skipped during a visit.

ATTENTION

The sales rep will not be able to complete the visit until all the required actions are performed.

7.Click btn_com_apply.png to save the visit action.

8.Similarly, add the rest of the visit actions.

As a result, when you drag a sales outlet and drop it into the calendar in the [Visit scheduling] view of the [Activities] section, the [Visit actions] detail of the visit will be populated automatically. The list of actions on the detail will correspond to the list of actions set up in the lookup for the corresponding visit rule.

Base actions

The following table contains the action types that are available in the lookup and the steps automatically executed in Creatio when a sales rep uses the mobile app.

Check-in

Creatio receives GPS coordinates of the sales rep location and the visit status is changed to “In progress“.

Presentation

Opens a PowerPoint or PDF presentation on the sales rep's mobile device (the presentation must be added to the [Attachments and notes] detail of the visit record in the [Activities] section). If several presentations have been added to the detail, the sales rep will have to select the needed one.

Order placement

Creates a new order for the sales outlet account and opens the product selection page on the sales rep's mobile device.

SKU Monitoring

Opens the SKU monitoring window for the sales rep to enter changes in SKU (stock-keeping units), specify whether the products are on display in the sales outlet. The sales rep’s mobile device will display the SKU monitoring window.

Check-out

Creatio receives GPS coordinates of the sales rep location and the visit status is changed to “Completed.“

Note

You can supplement the list of sales rep visit actions by adding new records to the [Visit actions type] lookup. Employees mark visit actions as “complete” by toggling a switch in the mobile device. The connection between visit actions and system sections (e.g., creating a new contract based on a visit action) is carried out only through development.
