Winter ‘14 Release Notes - External

Revision Date: 25-Oct-13 Page 1 of 17

What’s New in Dealmaker Winter ‘14?

Dealmaker Winter ‘14 contains significant improvements and enhancements to Smart Account

Manager to provide a more powerful, easy-to-use account management solution. This release also

contains a number of improvements in Opportunity Manager, Playbook and Political Map Express,

including changes to the out-of-the-box Salesforce Reports provided with Dealmaker.

The key feature changes available with Dealmaker Winter ‘14 are described below. For more details,

please also refer to the online help available within the Dealmaker application.

Smart AM

Account

Groups:

Rather than requiring the data structure of accounts in Salesforce to exactly

reflect the buying structure of an organization, Smart AM now allows users to

define an “Account Group” of any diverse account records directly within the

Smart AM Account Plan Settings. The user adds account records as members of

the account group. Sub-divisions (child units) of this parent account group can be

created allowing you to apportion opportunities from any account in the Account

group to the appropriate rows on your plan.

For more information, see: http://sep13.dealmakerhelp.com/accountplan/group-by-account/



Updated

Objectives UI

The user interface for the Objectives, Strategies and Actions section of SAM sees

significant updates with the Dealmaker Winter ’14 release. The new-look

Objectives tab provides better support for team collaboration on objectives and

actions, with advanced filtering, grouping and sorting capabilities. There are two

views provided on the Objectives tab:

1. The “Objectives” view provides the plan objectives in a list that can be

sorted by owner, type, plan unit, date, priority and status, and filtered by

status, priority, owner and plan unit.

2. A separate “Actions” view displays the list of all actions planned to

achieve the objectives. The actions list can be filtered by status, priority

and owner; it can also be grouped by objective, owner, customer contact,

date, priority and status.

These views support users in easily seeing what objectives need to be completed

next, what actions are outstanding, who needs to complete them and when they

need to do the work.

For more information, see: http://sep13.dealmakerhelp.com/accountplan/objectives/

Scorecard: The new Scorecard tab helps you to understand the quality of your plan and how

it’s impacting your account(s). There are ten Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

measured on your plan. The Scorecard provides a “current” score for the KPIs,

and also maintains a history of progress on the KPIs over time (a snapshot is taken

at the end of every month). It provides advice on what objectives you should put

in place to support the plan. As you execute on the plan, you can review the

progress of the KPIs over time to determine if your plan is working.

For more information, see: http://sep13.dealmakerhelp.com/accountplan/scorecard-2/



Completeness: The Completeness tab provides an overview of how complete the account plan is,

the level of activity on it and where the users may have more work to do in order

to complete it. There are 8 Completeness criteria and 2 Activity criteria, each of

which indicates how much progress has been made on a plan. Note that a plan is

always moving, so the completeness level can increase or decrease over time.

For more information, see: http://sep13.dealmakerhelp.com/accountplan/completeness/

Political Map

Coaching:

Coaching advice is provided in the Political Maps for Smart AM. The Contact tab

on the detail panel displays coaching advice for the selected contact on the map.

The Advice tab displays suggestions from Dealmaker on steps to take to improve

or take best advantage of your position within the political map for the account.

For more information, see: http://sep13.dealmakerhelp.com/accountplan/using-filters-in-political-map-for-smart-am/

Direct Access to

Account Plan

Reports:

A drop-down list of reports is provided within the Account Plan pages, allowing

you to link directly to specific Salesforce Custom Reports available for Account

Plans. Dealmaker comes pre-packaged with four Account Plan specific reports

loaded into this list. Custom settings can also be used to add more account plan

specific reports to the drop-down (further details on how to add new reports are

available in the Account Planning Administrators Guide). The reports list is

displayed at the top right of the Account Plan screens.

For more information, see: http://sep13.dealmakerhelp.com/accountplan/reports-2/



Clone Account

Plans

The ability to clone an account plan is available on all AM pages. A plan clone

replicates the plan settings, plan details, segmentation and value map responses,

as well as the political maps, business strategy maps and LOR settings within the

Opportunity Map. It also includes duplicates of the original potential

opportunities and adds links to the current and won opportunities in the original

plan. The Objectives are replicated in the new plan, but no actions are included.

The Scorecard history data is not copied.

For more information, see: http://sep13.dealmakerhelp.com/acceountplan/clone-plan/

In-line Chatter: Chatter has been added for improved collaboration between team members on

an account plan. Dealmaker Winter ’14 provides the option for In-line Chatter

throughout Dealmaker, replicating the full capabilities of Chatter from within the

Dealmaker screens. For AM, simply create a chatter group for your plan and

associate it from within the Plan Settings. You can then post chatter messages,

attach files or links, generate polls, and @ mention users to grab their attention,

directly from within the specific plan. All chatter messages will be available within

the plan and within the standard Salesforce Chatter screens.

For more information, see: http://sep13.dealmakerhelp.com/accountplan/chatter-am/

Reset LOR to

Unknown

Dealmaker Winter ‘14 allows users to reset the Level of Relationship for a plan

unit in the Opportunity Map to “Unknown”. Now, if the leadership within a unit

changes, for example, users can update the LOR to unknown until such time as

they re-assess the relationship and understand how their organization is

perceived with the new leadership team.

For more information, see: http://sep13.dealmakerhelp.com/accountplan/opportunity_map/



Map Indicators

in Opportunity

Map

To make it easier to see what data has been created for a plan unit, the Plan Unit

section of the Opportunity Map shows whether or not a Political Map or Strategy

Map has been created. The Political Map and Strategy Map icons are greyed out if

there is no corresponding map for a unit. If there are corresponding maps, the

icons are displayed in color.

For more information, see: http://sep13.dealmakerhelp.com/accountplan/opportunity_map/

Configurable

Account Search

fields

The Dealmaker Administrator can configure what fields are available when

searching for accounts to include in an account plan. The configuration supports

including additional search fields and display fields beyond the default fields of

Configurable

Opportunity

fields

new opportunities in Salesforce). The standard fields of Amount, Name,

Account, Close Date, Owner and Stage can be augmented with additional

standard and/or custom Opportunity fields. These fields can be made

mandatory as part of the create process.

For details on how to configure the opportunity search and create fields, see: Custom Search Fields, later in this document



Configurable

Action fields

fields.

Configurable

Contact fields

The Dealmaker Administrator can configure what fields are available when:

1. Searching for contacts to add to a political map. The configuration

supports including additional search and/or display fields in the search

dialog.

2. Creating new contacts from within a political map. The standard Name,

Salutation, Title, Dept and Account fields can be augmented with

additional standard and/or custom Contact fields such as Reports To.

These fields can be set as mandatory or optional.

For details on how to configure the action create fields, see: Custom Search Fields, later in this document.



Change

Business

Strategy Map

Node Types

Have you ever added a node to the Business Strategy Map, and provided all the

detail, only to realize that it wasn’t a “Goal” that you identified but rather a

“Business Driver”? Prior to Dealmaker Winter ‘14, you had to delete the “Goal”

and re-create it from scratch as a “Business Driver”. With Dealmaker Winter ’14, it

is now possible to change the type of a node that is already on the map, using a

new Change Type drop-down list in the node’s Advanced tab. Note that you must

disconnect the node from any parents and children before you can change its

type.

For more information, see: http://sep13.dealmakerhelp.com/accountplan/strategy-map/

create it from scratch as a “Business Driver”. With Dealmaker Winter ’14, it is now

possible to change the type of a node that is already on the map, using a new

Change Type drop-down list in the node’s Advanced tab. Note that you must

disconnect the node from any parents and children before you can change its

Administration Functionality Customers upgrading from an earlier version of Dealmaker (8.20 or before) should also refer to the

Dealmaker 8.21 Upgrade Guide.

Chatter Functionality By default, the improved Chatter functionality is enabled for new installs but disabled for upgrades. To

enable the functionality, use the Use Dealmaker Chatter Inline custom setting.

• On the Dealmaker Core Settings page, click on Edit.

• Select the Use Dealmaker Chatter Inline so that the new version of the Chatter functionality is

visible.

Chatter Functionality Restrictions for IE8 Users

For performance reasons, the new Chatter functionality should not be used with Internet Explorer 8 and

large Salesforce orgs which have a large number of tabs. Salesforce orgs with large numbers of tabs will not

render correctly due to the technical limitations of Internet Explorer 8.

• In such cases, disable the new Chatter functionality and enable the old version of this functionality.

To do this, deselect the Use Dealmaker Chatter Inline checkbox.



New Quicklink Types Previous versions of Dealmaker allowed a Quicklink to be classified as Link, Download or Video. As of

Dealmaker Winter ‘14 a range of new Quicklink types are available.

The following new Quicklink types allow more detailed reporting:

Word

Excel

Powerpoint

PDF

Image

Zip

Web

Other

In new installations of Dealmaker, these new types are created automatically. When upgrading from a

previous version of Dealmaker, the new link types must be created manually. Refer to the Dealmaker 8.21

Upgrade Guide.

Enable Market View Sort Order After an upgrade, the Market View SortOrder field must be added to the AM Solutions page layout in the

Account Manager tab. Set this value on your AM Solutions to determine the order in which they appear on

your Market Views.



Custom Search Fields Additional fields can be added to the CRUD and search pages using the following custom settings:

• Dealmaker Contact Field

• Dealmaker Opportunity Field

• Dealmaker Account Field

• Dealmaker Activity Field

Fields can be added to the CRUD or search layouts, made searchable or required and you can change the

order of fields. Fields might include adding an email field or a date field. The fields must already exist in the

Salesforce object and can be standard or custom fields. Details on how to configure additional fields on

search and CRUD pages are available in the relevant administration guide (Account Planning Administrators

Guide and Playbook Administrators Guide).

New Dealmaker AM Custom Settings The following new Dealmaker AM custom setting fields are included in Dealmaker Winter ‘14:

Scorecard Settings

• Scorecard Batch Execution Time: Used to specify when the batch job which processes data for

Scorecard is carried out.

• Disable Scoring Batches: Used to disable the batch processes responsible for scoring. This field is

unchecked by default.

• Show Scorecard: This field controls whether or not the Scorecard tab is shown in AM.

Completeness Settings

• Show Completeness: This field controls whether or not the Completeness tab is shown in AM.

Segmentation Map

• Show Segmentation Map: Used to show and hide the segmentation map in Smart AM. This field

is checked by default.

Account Grouping

• Use Account Grouping: Used to enable the new group by account functionality in Smart AM. This

field is unchecked by default.

Account Plan Reports

• AM Report List: A new custom setting called Dealmaker AM Report List captures the

configuration of Account Plan specific reports which can be invoked from the Account Plan pages.

These reports contain plan ID references which automatically compile data for the relevant plan.

They must not be edited or modified in any way.



Sharing Team View with Teams A team view team created by one user can now be shared with other users. Once the team has been

created, your administrator can mark it as “Public” and then use standard Salesforce sharing functionality to

share that team with other users.

To use this functionality, the administrator needs to set the Team View object to Private instead of Public

Read/Write, otherwise users will be able to access any team that is set to Public.

In new installations of Dealmaker Winter ‘14 and higher, this object is set to private by default and a Team

View Team must be explicitly shared with team members.

However, when upgrading from Dealmaker versions prior to Winter ‘14, the following steps must be carried

out before a Team View can be shared with teams:

1. In the Security Controls menu, click on Sharing Settings and Edit.

2. Change the settings for Team View Team to Private and click Save.

By adding the Is Public field to the Team View Teams page layout, administrators can specify whether Team

View Teams are public or visible only to users who have access via any configured sharing rules.

Smart AM Opportunity Map Reports List If it has been configured by the administrator, a list of reports is displayed in the Opportunity Map in Smart

AM.

This list contains the following reports which can be run directly from the list:

• Plan Completeness;

• Plan Scorecard;

• Plan Time View;

• Plan Units.

These reports contain plan ID references which automatically compile data for the relevant plan. They must

not be edited or modified in any way.



Setting the Report ID

To improve the performance on the Account Management pages, it is recommended to set a report ID for

each report in the reports list. To do this, perform the following steps:

• Go to Setup>Develop>Custom Settings>Dealmaker AM Report List and click on Manage.

• Edit each of the records in the list to set the Report Id. For example, click to edit the Account Plan

Completeness record.

• In a separate browser tab go to Reports and click on the Account Plan Completeness report.

• Copy the report Id from the top of the browser window as shown below and paste it into the Report

Id field of the record in the custom settings.

• Do this for each of the other three records in the Dealmaker AM Report List custom setting – copying

the id from the report of the same name.

Configure Revenue Goals for Team View Report To enable Revenue Goals for users, it is necessary to modify the user object by setting a currency field to

capture annual revenue goal for a user. The value of this field is set on an individual user basis.

• To specify the currency field, go to Setup>Develop>Custom Settings>Dealmaker Playbook Settings.

• Click on Edit and enter in the Revenue Goal field the API name of user object field you want to use.

• Click Save.

When Team View report is run, the value shown under the goal column is displayed on a pro-rata basis. So

for example if your reporting period is six months, the amount shown will be half the amount specified in the

Revenue Goal Field.

“Unknown” Level of Relationship Value in Opportunity Map Dealmaker Winter ‘14 allows you to change the Level of Relationship (LOR) on an Opportunity Map to

Unknown. This is useful, for example, in cases where a company changes leadership.

When upgrading to Dealmaker Winter ‘14, this feature must be enabled manually by adding a new value to

the LOR picklist.
