How to Keep Track of Samples Given

  Samples can be managed within a single opportunity, or across multiple opportunities through the Samples screen.  

Managing Samples Through an Opportunity

How do I know that there are samples checked out for an opportunity?

While viewing opportunities from the Pipeline screen an icon on the opportunity card will indicate if one or more product samples have been checked out.

Indications that a sample is checked out persists even if an opportunity is won/lost.

How do I check samples in and out?

When an opportunity is open to the Products stage you will see sample icons on the product lines.

These icons indicate if a sample is checked out or not and also act the the button to check out/in samples.

Is there a log that keeps track of sample status within an opportunity?

Sample activity is recorded under the History tab of an opportunity and appears in the Recent Activity feed of your CRM Dashboard.

If a sample is checked out for an opportunity and remains checked out once a quote is created, this information is passed on to RFMS. The product line in RM will include that a sample is checked out.
