most out of Enterprise Edition. Follow the checklists in each section to make sure you have all the information you need prior
to implementing each feature.

Create custom profiles and permission sets to grant permissions to your users. Before granting users additional privileges,
consider each of the following questions to formulate the best implementation plan for your organization:
Do you want to remove certain permissions from standard users?
Examine the Standard User profile and the permissions it grants users. You can clone this profile and remove individual
permissions.
Should you use profiles or permission sets to grant permissions?
It's a good idea to use profiles to assign the minimum permissions and access settings for specific groups of users, then
use permission sets to grant additional permissions. Because you can assign many permission sets to users and permission
sets are reusable, you can distribute access among more logical groupings of users, regardless of their primary job function.
For example, you could create a permission set that gives read access to a custom object and assign it to a large group of
users, and create another permission set that gives edit access to the object and assign it to only a few users. You can
assign these permission sets to various types of users, regardless of their profiles.
Some profile settings aren't included in permission sets. The following table shows the types of permissions and access
settings that are specified in profiles and permission sets.

Custom Profiles and Permission SetsPlanning

In Permission Sets?In Profiles?Permission or Setting Type
Assigned apps

Visualforce page access
Service provider access (if Salesforce is
enabled as an identity provider)
Desktop client access
Login hours
Login IP ranges
How many permission sets or new profiles do you need?
List the permissions you want each group of users to have.
Do you want different users to see different information on pages?
For example, do you want some users to see less information about accounts than executives?
Do you want to control how users access and upgrade desktop clients?
For example, do you want to prohibit some users from using clients such as Salesforce for Outlook? Do you want to
enforce timely updates to new client versions?
Tip: Try to limit the number of custom profiles because maintaining them can be time consuming.

Creating and Assigning Custom Profiles and Permission Sets
Multiple page layouts allow you to create different views of your detail and edit pages for different groups of users. Field-level
security allows you to restrict users' access to certain fields by making those fields visible, hidden, editable, or read only. Record
types enable you to display different page layouts based on some attribute of the record.
4
Multiple Page Layouts and Field-Level SecurityPlanning

To simplify maintenance of page layouts, first use field-level security to restrict the access your users have to fields. Next,
customize record types to make picklists function differently for different users. Then, create additional page layouts to organize
the information displayed on detail and edit pages.
Before you begin, determine if you want to use field-level security, multiple page layouts, or a combination using record types.
Do you want to hide fields?
• If you want to make the field completely inaccessible to a user, use field-level security.
• If you want the field to be hidden on page layouts but visible in reports, list views, search results, related lists, and
communication templates, use page layouts to make the field hidden.
Do you want your pages to look differently?
• If you want selected users to always see the same page layout that is designed for them, create separate page layouts
that are assigned to different users based on profile.
• If you want the same person to see different views of the page depending on an attribute of the record, use record
types on page layouts.
For example if have accounts for partners and customers, create two new record types named “Customers” and “Partners.”
Then create a separate page layout for each and assign the account record type for customers to the customer page layout.
Likewise, assign the account record type for partners to the partners page layout. Then users can see the page layout you
designed for customers on those accounts that have the “Customer” record type.
Consider each of the following points to formulate your plan for implementing multiple page layouts:
• Identify fields to hide from selected users.
• Determine the fields each user should see.
• Determine which users could share a page layout.
• Name the different page layouts you plan to create, for example: by business department.
• Identify which fields should be editable, read only, or required on each page layout.
• Identify which related lists should be on each page layout.
• Identify which custom links that you want on each page layout.

Console Tab
The console is a tab that combines a list view and related records into one screen with different frames so that users have all
the information they need when interacting with Salesforce. By using the console, users can quickly find, view, and edit records
such as cases, accounts, and contacts with fewer clicks and without switching back and forth between screens. Administrators
choose the information displayed in the console to accommodate varied and evolving business needs.
Tip: The Salesforce console is different from the Console tab. It improves on the Console tab by displaying records
and related items as tabs on one screen.
Consider the following before implementing the Console tab:
Do you have groups that use Salesforce more than three hours a day?
If so, set up the console to help users dramatically speed up business functions.
5
Console TabPlanning

Do you have users who view Salesforce while speaking with customers on the phone?
If so, configure the console so that users can view all of a customer's related information on one screen.
Do you have groups that work through list views sequentially?
If so, set up the console so that users can simultaneously see list views and record details without having to switch back
and forth between screens.
Do you have users that navigate between related Salesforce screens to retrieve information?
If so, the console allows you to assemble related information on one screen to make your users more efficient.
Multiple business processes allow you to control the workflow your users follow for leads, opportunities, and cases. For example,
you can set up different opportunity stages for different sales departments or different case status values for different types of
cases.
Sales Processes
Available for the opportunity Stage picklist values
Support Processes
Available for the cases Status picklist values
Lead Processes
Available for the lead Lead Status picklist values
Record types contain sales processes, support processes, and lead process. They also allow you to control which values a user
sees for any picklist field. If you want different groups of users to see only a subset of values in any picklist field, consider using
record types. For example, if your software opportunity team should never handle accounts from industries outside of the
computer industry, you can create an account record type for your software sales reps that offers them a subset of the list of
values in the Industry picklist on accounts.
Consider the following before implementing business processes or record types:
Do you have different groups that follow different processes in sales or support?
You may just need two separate business processes if you have two divisions or two different processes. Make a list of
the different business processes you want to support and give them each a name.
Do you want to make different picklist values available to different users?
If so, identify the picklist fields you want to control with record types. Make a list of the picklist values that should be
available to what users.
Do you want to have different picklist value defaults for different users?
If so, identify the different default picklist values for different users.
Create a list of profiles to assign to each record type
Prepare a list of what profiles should have access to what record types. These record types contain business processes,
which is how you can assign user profiles to business processes.
6
Multiple Business Processes and Record TypesPlanning

Determine which record types should be associated with each profile
You can limit a user's access to record types or users can have more than one record type available to them when creating
a record. Be prepared to choose a default record type whenever you apply more than one record type to a profile.

Workflow Automation
Your internal processes are critical to your success. Workflow allows you to automate your internal business processes and
automatically perform workflow actions based on your organization's workflow. Using workflow, you can keep each member
of your team informed of the latest changes to your data.
Workflow automation consists of the following basic attributes. Additional workflow actions are described in the Salesforce
Help.
Workflow Alerts
Workflow alerts are similar to email templates in that they contain the email message and list of recipients for an email.
Workflow rules send workflow alerts whenever business actions trigger the rule.
Workflow Tasks
Workflow tasks are like task templates that contain the information a workflow rule uses to assign a task to specified
users whenever business actions trigger the rule.
Workflow Field Updates
Workflow field updates change the value of a field to a specified value. Workflow rules apply the field updates whenever
business actions trigger the rule.
Workflow Outbound Messages
Workflow outbound messages send the information you specify to an endpoint you designate. Workflow rules send the
messages whenever business actions trigger the rule.
Workflow Rules
Workflow rules schedule and run workflow actions when records meet specified criteria. For example, automatically
send an email alert to the account team of a high-value opportunity ten days before its close date, or assign follow-up
tasks to a support representative when a case is updated.
Consider the following before creating workflow actions or rules.
What internal business processes do you want to automate in Salesforce?
For workflow rules, you can create up to 50 per object. Then, you can associate each workflow rule with workflow alerts,
tasks, field updates, and outbound messages. Determine what internal processes you want to automate for each type of
record.
Determine what tasks you want to assign for each automated process.
A workflow rule can assign up to 10 tasks when triggered. Determine what workflow tasks to assign when a workflow
rule is triggered.
7
Workflow AutomationPlanning

Determine the email alerts you want to send when a rule is triggered.
A rule can trigger up to 10 email alerts. Workflow alerts can contain any number of Salesforce recipients and up to five
additional recipients of users outside of Salesforce.
Determine the fields you want to update when a rule is triggered.
A rule can trigger up to 10 field updates. Determine the fields you want changed and the values you want them to have
when updated. Consider using formulas to calculate the new value of a field.
Determine if you want to send information to an external service when a rule is triggered.
A rule can trigger up to 10 outbound messages. Determine the information you want to send and the URL or endpoint
that you want to receive it.

Setting Up Workflow Automation
Approval Processes
Your business runs more efficiently with automated processes. For example, you may already have workflow rules that
automatically send email alerts or assign tasks based on your internal processes. Approvals take automation one step further,
allowing you to specify a sequence of steps that are required to approve a record.
An approval process is an automated process your organization can use to approve records in Salesforce. An approval process
specifies the steps necessary for a record to be approved and who must approve it at each step. A step can apply to all records
included in the process, or just records that have certain attributes. An approval process also specifies the actions to take when
a record is approved, rejected, or first submitted for approval.
Approval processes consist of the following elements:
Approval Process Details
A name and description, entry criteria if you only want records with certain attributes to be included, a designated
approver, and other settings to specify who, if anyone, can change a record once it has been submitted for approval.
Approval Process Steps
The sequence of actions to take when a record matches the criteria specified.
Initial Submission Actions
Additional actions that occur when a record is initially submitted for approval. These actions can be workflow alerts,
tasks, field updates, or outbound messages.
Final Approval Actions
Additional actions that occur when a record is approved. These actions can be workflow alerts, tasks, field updates, or
outbound messages.
Final Rejection Actions
Additional actions that occur when a record is rejected. These actions can be workflow alerts, tasks, field updates, or
outbound messages.
Consider the following before creating approval processes.
8
Approval ProcessesPlanning

What email template do you want to use for approval requests?
The email template you specify on an approval process is used when notifying users that an approval request is assigned
to them.
Determine who should be the sender of approval requests.
The approval request notifications are automatically sent from the user who submitted the record for approval. You have
the option to assign a different return email address to these notifications. Determine what email address to use.
Who will be responsible for approving requests?
Requests can be approved or rejected by any of the following: a manually chosen user or queue, a user or queue specified
by the administrator, or a user listed in a custom hierarchy field on the user detail page.
Should approval requests be delegated to another user for approval?
An approval request can be approved by a designated delegate for the approver.
What records should be included in this process?
Determine what attributes a record must have to be included in your approval process.

Setting Up Approval Processes
Tips for Processing Approval Requests
Use delegated administration to assign limited administrative privileges to selected non-administrator users in your organization.
Review the following questions to determine your need for delegating setup tasks:
Do you have multiple departments with large number of users using Salesforce?
Rather than having one or two central administrators spend all of their time adding and updating users for every
department, designate one user from each department as the delegated administrator for that department's users.
Do your administrators spend too much time resetting users' passwords?
The delegated administrator for every department can be in charge of resetting passwords, freeing up valuable time of
your administrators.
Do you have custom objects that are used by only certain users?
For instance, your opportunity team may have a custom object to track expenses. You can designate one or two users
from that team to be the delegated administrator for the expenses custom object.

Setting Up Delegated Administration
Person Accounts
Person accounts are accounts that can function simultaneously as contacts. For example, you can send person accounts emails,
invite them to meetings, and add them to marketing campaigns.
Review the following question to determine your need for person accounts:
9
Delegated AdministrationPlanning

Do you sell to individual consumers?
Does your business operate on a business-to-consumer model? By default, accounts in Salesforce are designed for a
business-to-business model where accounts represent firms, corporations, and other business entities such as nonprofit
organizations. To facilitate interactions with customers who are individual human beings, such as a person buying an
insurance policy or a patient receiving medical care, consider implementing person accounts.
Your organization may already have roles for opportunity team members. Your sales reps may already work together on deals.
Your account reps may coordinate efforts to support and maintain accounts. Team selling and account teams enable you to
configure Salesforce to reflect the way your organization manages opportunity and account teams.
Team selling allows your users to identify a group of users and their roles on each opportunity. For example, an opportunity
may have an account manager, sales engineer, and an executive sponsor. Each of the users on an opportunity team needs to
share access to the opportunity. Likewise, account teams allow your users to list account team members on an account that
they all support together and can access. The account team members and opportunity team members share a list of role names.
Analyze opportunity team members
You may already have opportunity teams in place. Examine the roles that each person plays to create your list of opportunity
and account team roles.
Analyze account team members
Maintaining an account may require several team members. Examine the roles that each person plays on your company's
accounts.

Sharing Records
Sharing allows you to share individual records with other Salesforce users, rather than having to share either all or none of the
records in your organization.
Users can extend sharing of any of their accounts, campaigns, contacts, cases, leads, opportunities, or custom objects individually
with other users. Depending on your sharing model, users may not need to extend sharing. Analyze your sharing model and
how it applies to sharing.
Review the following to understand the options based on your sharing model and plan how to implement sharing:
Public Read/Write/Transfer
If you use a Public Read/Write/Transfer model for a type of record, users can already view, edit, and transfer records to
other users regardless of owner. So, individual record sharing is not necessary using this organization-wide sharing model.
This option is only available for leads and cases.
Public Read/Write
If you use a Public Read/Write model for a type of record, users can already view and edit any record regardless of owner.
So, individual sharing of records is not necessary using this organization-wide sharing model.
10
Team Selling and Account TeamsPlanning

Public Read Only
If you have a Public Read Only sharing model, users can extend read/write access to their records individually. Keep in
mind that the users who are granted individual sharing access to a record must have at least read access to any associated
records. For example, if you have a Public Read Only sharing model for accounts, all users can view accounts associated
with the opportunities, regardless of who owns the account. This allows your users to share their opportunities individually
without worrying about granting read access to the associated accounts.
Private
If you have a Private sharing model for a type of record, users can extend read or read/write access to their records
individually.
Use sharing rules to automatically extend the sharing privileges of groups of users or users in a specific role. Consider the
following before implementing sharing rules:
Evaluate your current sharing model
Sharing rules can only extend sharing privileges beyond your organization-wide sharing model.
Determine rules for sharing individual records
Determine which groups or roles need access to the records owned by users in other groups or roles.
Make a list of the groups you need
Before you can create sharing rules, you must have groups, queues, or roles of users. Determine what groups you need
to create for sharing.

Setting Up Record Sharing
Tips for Manual Sharing
Territory Management
Territory management allows you to organize users and accounts into territories, where the users in a territory all share access
to that territory's accounts. Accounts are automatically assigned to territories via rules that evaluate the attributes (such as zip
code and industry) of each account.
Accounts can also be assigned manually to territories one by one. Review the following questions to determine your need for
territory management.
Does your organization have a private sharing model for accounts?
Territory management is designed for organizations that have a private organization-wide default access level for accounts.
In such organizations, only the account owner and users above the account owner in the role hierarchy can view or edit
an account. In conjunction, territory management is a flexible way to grant users read or read/write access to accounts
regardless of who the account owner is or where the user is located in the role hierarchy. (Account ownership and the
role hierarchy continue to function as they always have, but territory management adds another way of granting record
access.)
If your default access level for accounts is Public Read Only or Public Read/Write, then your users may already have the
account visibility they require and you would not need territory management.
Does your sales force have a complex organizational structure?
Territory management is ideal for sales organizations that have many teams of sales reps, different managers for
industry-specific, regional, and international sales, cross-functional employees, and other complex specializations.
11
Territory ManagementPlanning

However, if your sales organization is flat, such as thirty account executives who all report to the same manager, then
you may not need the capabilities that the territory hierarchy provides.
Does your sales organization change frequently?
Territory management is a good choice if your sales organization regularly undergoes reorganizations, additions, and
attrition. Territory management supports moving users between territories, adding new users to territories, removing
users from territories, and choosing how accounts and opportunities are reassigned when moves occur.
For instructions on enabling and implementing territory management, see “ Territories, Accounts, and Opportunities,” which
is available from the Salesforce online help.
Enterprise Edition allows administrators to lock down and control access to Salesforce. Before using additional security features,
evaluate the needs of your users.
When do your users need to log in?
Is there a reason to lock users out at specific times? Plan the hours that you want to allow users to log in.
Do you know the IP numbers that your users use?
If so, decide if you want to limit the IP addresses they use to log in. Be careful because this will limit their ability to
access information remotely.
Do you want to lock IP addresses?
Determine if you want users to be tied to the IP address used when logging in.
Do you want to enforce password policies?
Determine what you want to restrict:
• Users' ability to reuse previous passwords
• Password length
• Password complexity

Using Additional Security Features
You may have folders and list views that you want to make available to a group of users. Enterprise Edition enables you to
control access to folders and list views.
Consider the following points before implementing group-based folders and views:

Customizing Mini Page Layouts
If you plan to use the Console tab, you can customize mini page layouts for the records that appear in the mini view of the
console. A mini page layout contains a subset of the items in an existing page layout.
To customize mini page layouts:
1. From Setup, click Customize and choose a standard object, or from Setup, click Create > Objects and choose a custom
object.
2. Select Page Layouts, and choose a page layout name.
3. Click Mini Page Layout.
4. Select which fields and related lists will be displayed for this type of record in the mini view. For each related list you select,
choose which fields to display in that related list.
5. Click Save.
Mini page layouts inherit record type and profile associations, related lists, fields, and field access settings from their associated
page layout. The visible fields and related lists of the mini page layout can be further customized, but the other items inherited
from the associated page layout cannot be changed on the mini page layout itself.
Defining Related Objects
If you plan to use the Console tab, you can choose which related objects appear in the mini view of the console. However, you
can only choose objects with a lookup relationship on the primary object. For example, from the cases object, you can choose
account and contact because cases have account and contact lookup fields.
17
Customizing Field-Level SecurityImplementation

To define related objects:
1. From Setup, click Customize and choose a standard object, or from Setup, click Create > Objects and choose a custom
object.
2. Select Page Layouts, and choose a page layout name.
3. Click Mini Console View.
4. Select which records associated with the record in the detail view will be displayed in the mini view. You can only select
objects if they are defined as lookup relationships and those lookup fields are included on the page layout.
5. Click Save.
For comprehensive information about setting up the console including console layouts, see the Salesforce online help.
Assigning Page Layouts to Profiles and Record Types
If you created additional page layouts, associate them with your existing profiles and record types to make them available to
users.
To assign page layouts to profiles and record types:
1. From Setup, click Customize and choose the appropriate tab or link.
2. Select Page Layouts.
3. Click Page Layout Assignment to display a matrix showing the page layouts assigned to each profile. If you have enabled
record types, this matrix shows the page layout for the combination of a record type and profile.
4. Click Edit Assignment to begin editing the matrix.
5. Click any page layout in the matrix to select it. Use CTRL-click or SHIFT-click to select more than one page layout at a
time.
6. Choose a new page layout to assign to your selection using the drop down list box labeled Page Layout To Use.
7. Click Save.
Tip: Use the same page layout for each record type column in the matrix.
Use the Field Accessibility tables to verify users access to fields based on the interaction of page layouts and field-level
security. From Setup, click Security Controls > Field Accessibility and select the appropriate tab.
Some users may have access to specific fields based on their permissions. For example, users with the “Edit Read
Only Fields” permission can always edit read-only fields regardless of any other settings. These exceptions are not
visible in the Field Accessibility tables.
Use multiple business processes and record types to make different picklist values available to selected users based on their
profiles. Multiple business processes allow you to manage separate sales, support, and lead life-cycles:
Sales Processes
Make some or all of the opportunity Stage picklist values available to designated users.
Support Processes
Make some or all of the case Status picklist values available to selected users.
Lead Processes
Make some or all of the Lead Status picklist values available to selected users.
18
Assigning Page Layouts to Profiles and Record TypesImplementation

The steps to setting up multiple business processes and record types are:
Creating Business Processes
Give your new business process a name and select the picklist values to include in it.
Creating Record Types
Create new record types for different kinds of records, for example, Customer Support cases and IT Help Desk cases.
For opportunities, cases, and leads, include the new business process in a record type.
Adding Record Types to Page Layouts
If you want the record type to be visible to users, add the Record Type field to the appropriate page layouts. Then users
can both see and select the appropriate record type to use for each record.
See Also:
Creating Business Processes
Create multiple business processes for your sales, support, and lead life-cycles. Then include each business processes in a record
type so that you can associate them with user profiles. Also, add the Record Type field to a page layout if you would like
users to view or change them.
To create business processes:
1. From Setup, click Customize, and select the appropriate tab link: Opportunity, Case, or Lead.
2. Click the Processes link.
3. Click New.
4. Choose an existing business process to copy all the picklist values into the new business process. Select Master to copy all
available values.
5. Enter a name and description of the new process.
6. Click Save.
7. Add the values you want included in this business process to the list of Selected Values. Move any values that you do not
want included in this business process to the Available Values list.
8. For a support or lead process, choose a default value.
9. Click Save.
Creating Record Types
Each business process must belong to a record type. Once you have created multiple business processes, create a record type
and select the business process you want to make available within each record type. Unlike business processes, record types
can be associated with profiles. So, include your new business process in a record type so you can make it available to users
based on their profiles.
Beyond sales, support, and lead processes, you can build separate lists of picklist values for any custom or standard picklist
field. For example, make just the relevant account Industry picklist values available to your software sales reps, but make all
of the account Industry picklist values available to the rest of your sales reps.
To create record types:
19
Creating Business ProcessesImplementation

1. From Setup, click Customize, and choose the appropriate tab link.
2. Choose the Record Types option.
3. Click New.
4. Select an existing record type to copy the settings into the new one. If this is your first record type, you can copy all the
available picklist values by choosing Master.
5. Enter a name and description for the new record type.
6. For opportunities, cases, or leads, choose a business process to include in the new record type.
7. Check Active to activate the record type.
8. Check the Enable for Profile column for profiles that should have access to the record type. Also, check the Make
Default column to make the new record type the default for any enabled profile.
9. Click Next.
10. Select a page layout to use when displaying records of this record type.
11. Click Save.
The page displays all the custom and standard picklists for the data type. Any changes you make to these picklists only
apply to the selected record type.
Optional:
• Click Edit next to any picklist that you would like to customize for the selected record type.
• Choose a value from the Available Values list and add it to the Selected Values list. All selected values will be available
in the new record type.
• Select a default value. This may be required depending on the picklist.
• Click New.
Tip:
• If you do not want users to choose a record type when creating new records, add a single record type to each
profile. The associated record type will automatically be applied when users create new records.
• You do not need to create record types for all tabs. If you have created a record type on one tab, records on other
tabs that do not have record types will continue to have the master picklists available. A master picklist includes
all of the available values in a picklist. For example, if you do not create any account record types, all account
records display all picklist values for each picklist field.
• If you create a record type but do not assign it to any profiles, the application functions the same as it did before
you created the record type; all picklist values are available to users creating or editing records regardless of their
profiles.
• Records that existed before you created a record type remain unchanged. Since they do not have a record type, all
picklist values are available regardless of the user's profile. If necessary, change the record type of existing records
manually because there is no mass update for record types.
Adding Record Types to Page Layouts
Record types do not display automatically on any page layouts until you manually add the Record Type field to the appropriate
page layouts.

• For picklists, select a specific value from the drop-down list, or choose to change the field's value to the value above or
below it in the picklist.
6. Click Save.
Creating Workflow Outbound Messages
Outbound messages send the information you specify to an endpoint you designate. When a record meets the conditions of
a workflow rule, the rule sends any associated outbound messages to designated endpoints. You can create workflow outbound
messages and then associate them with workflow rules.
To create a workflow outbound message:
1. From Setup, click Create > Workflow & Approvals > Outbound Messages.
2. Click New Outbound Message.

edited
Note: You can't add time-dependent actions to the rule if you select this
option.
(Default) Evaluate the rule criteria each time a record is created or updated.created, and any time it’s
edited to subsequently meet
criteria
• For a new record, run the rule if the rule criteria is met.
• For an updated record, run the rule only if the record is changed from not
meeting the rule criteria to meeting the rule criteria.
With this option, the rule can run multiple times per record, but it won’t run when
the record edits are unrelated to the rule criteria.
For example, suppose that for an opportunity record to meet the rule criteria, the
opportunity probability must be greater than 50%. If you create an opportunity
with a probability of 75%, the workflow rule runs. If you edit that opportunity by
changing the probability to 25%, the edit doesn’t cause the rule to run. If you then
edit that opportunity by changing the probability from 25% to 75%, the edit causes
the rule to run. With this last edit, the rule runs because the record is changed
from not meeting the rule criteria to meeting the rule criteria.

Tips for Training Users
After you have set up all the advanced features available with Enterprise Edition, you may want to train your users. We
recommend providing some instructions on the following features.
Explain how this feature works and how you have implemented it.
Demonstrate the lifecycle of an approval request. Then show the appropriate users how to submit, approve, and reject
approval requests.
Instruct users on setting a default opportunity team, adding it to opportunities, and changing the opportunity team
members on an opportunity.
Teach users how to set a default account team, add team members to accounts, and remove the team members on an
account.
Train users to extend sharing of opportunities without changing your sharing model.
Give users instructions on installing and using Force.com Connect Offline.
You can design business processes that are completely invisible to your users. If you assign a single record type to each profile,
your users are never prompted to choose a record type when creating new records. Furthermore, if you do not display the
RecordType field on the page layout, users never see it. All that users see are the picklist values available to them when creating
a record and they may not realize that other users have different values available to them for the same picklist field.
However, you may have users that need to create records for two different record types. For example, you may have created
different record types for your hardware and software sales divisions, but you may have sales associates that create opportunities
for both hardware and software sales divisions. In this case, the sales associate is prompted to select a hardware or software
record type when creating new opportunities. If you have implemented multiple business processes to be completely invisible
to your users, you may not need to train them. In either case, prepare users for the new business processes you have created.
We recommend:
Defining Multiple Business Processes
At a high level, describe what a business process is and how you plan to use many different ones in your organization.
Review the steps of each business process with your users so they understand the flow and definitions you have created.
Explaining Your Implementation
Describe that users will be prompted for record types or that this will be invisible to them when creating records.
Setting Record Type Preferences
If users have more than one record type available, show them how to bypass the record type prompt by setting a default
record type: users can do this in their personal settings, on the Record Type Selection or Set Default Record Type page.

Tips for Multiple Business Processes and Record TypesTips for Training Users

Changing the Record Type Field
If you display the record type on page layouts, show your users how to change the record type of any record. From the
detail page, click Change next to the Record Type field.
See Also:
After you set up an approval process, your users need to understand its basic lifecycle. Walk your users through the following
tasks:
Submitting approval requests
From the record, click Submit for Approval from the Approval History related list.
Approving approval requests
Click the link supplied in the email notification of an approval request and click Approve.
Rejecting approval requests
Click the link supplied in the email notification of an approval request and click Reject.
Reassigning approval requests
Click Manage All from the Items To Approve list on your custom home page. Then, click Reassign.

Approval Processes
After you have enabled team selling, users can create default opportunity teams and add them to opportunities. Training users
on team selling can be easier if you show them how a model opportunity team might function. Set up your opportunity team
roles and add them to an opportunity to show how an opportunity team works.
Setting Your Default Opportunity Team
Users who are opportunity owners can create default opportunity teams.
Applying Your Default Opportunity Team
Once you have created your default opportunity team, you can apply it to any opportunities you own.
