Using Success Tracker

Success Tracker provides a view of all of a success plan's related objectives, and their associated playbooks and playbook tasks, enabling you to view information about the progress, status, and relevant resources of the records at a glance. Records are displayed in a scheduler view providing you with a holistic overview of your success plan's related records and their dates.

Viewing Success Tracker

You can view Success Tracker in:

• The Success Tracker tab on a success plan record page. This tab is enabled by default.
• The Success Tracker tab on a workspace or record page that your administrator has added it to.
• The Success Plans tab on an account record page if your administrator has added it to the page.

We recommend that your administrator adds Success Tracker to the account record page. When the tracker is added to the account record page, the success plans associated with the account are at the top of the hierarchy and provide information about the success plans. For more information, see Customer Success Cloud Lightning Components and Success Tracker Lightning Component Fields.

Notes:

• Depending on your org configuration, Success Tracker might be enabled on additional pages and workspaces in Customer Success Cloud. For more information, contact your administrator.

• When accessing Success Tracker from a non-packaged Customer Success Cloud record page, Success Tracker displays the success plans, objectives, playbooks, and playbook tasks related to the record you are accessing Success Tracker from.
• When using Success Tracker on an app page, we recommended that you apply account filters to refine the records displayed.

Creating Success Tracker Records

Using Success Tracker, you can create:

• Blank objectives, playbooks, playbook tasks, and success plans
• Objectives, playbooks, and success plans from templates

To do this, click in the Success Tracker toolbar, and then click one of the following:

• Add Playbook Task, which enables you to create a playbook task in the Create Playbook Task window. You can associate new tasks with playbooks by populating the Playbook field. You can populate all the lookup fields as long as the valid object hierarchy is maintained. For more information, see About Playbook Tasks and Creating Playbook Tasks.
• Add Playbook, which enables you to create a playbook in the Create Playbook window. You can associate new playbooks with objectives by populating the Objective field. You can populate all the lookup fields as long as the valid object hierarchy is maintained. For more information, see About Playbooks and Creating Playbooks.
• Add Objective, which enables you to create an objective in the Create Objective window. You can associate new objectives with success plans by populating the Success Plan field. For more information, see About Objectives and Creating Objectives.
• Add Success Plan, which enables you to create a success plan in the Create Success Plan window. For more information, see About Success Plans and Creating Success Plans.

Associating Records with Parent Records

To automatically associate:

• A playbook, playbook task, or success plan record with an account, you must create the record from the account's record page.
• An objective, playbook, or playbook task record with a success plan, you must create the record from the success plan's record page.
• A playbook with an objective, you must create the record from the objective's record page.

Creating Records from Templates

When creating a new objective, playbook, or success plan record from a template that contains child records, the Select Records grid displays so that you can:

• View the child records inherited from the template.
• Deselect any child records that you do not want to include in your new record. By default, all of the template's child records are selected. If the template contains no child records, a message notifies you of this, the Select Records grid does not display, and you can finish creating your new record.

• Edit child records. You can edit the Name, Start Date, and End Date fields. The Resources field is read-only.

In the Select Records grid, you can:

• Click or next to a parent or child record to expand or collapse it
• Click or to collapse or expand all of the parent and child success plan and objective records
• Use the search bar to find a specific record
• Double-click a cell in the grid and edit its value.
