          Action Plans

          An action plan defines the tasks and other items needed to complete a business process. Each task has a priority, a number of days in which it must be completed, and a person who is responsible. Action plans are created from action plan templates, which allow you to capture repeatable tasks. Users see the tasks assigned to them through task lists and views. Users record task status information using the standard interfaces for tasks or the Action Plan details view. Target records, such as accounts or contacts, also show lists of related action plans.

          Here are a couple of examples of how different clouds can implement action plans:

          • In Financial Services Cloud, create an action plan template for financial plan review meetings with clients. For such engagements, wealth managers need to set up a meeting in advance, collect financial documentation, and review the documentation. You set up this action plan template once, and update it as your understanding of the repeatable tasks refines over time. Then, when wealth managers need review meeting with clients, you can create an action plan based on the template. You don’t have to worry about all the appropriate tasks getting created because those tasks are defined in the template.
          • In Public Sector Solutions, create an action plan template for vetting procedures that are required before rolling out an offer to a recruitment candidate. In vetting procedures, recruiters or HR specialists need to scrutinize personal information, such as conduct background checks, medical examinations, and review findings. Set up an action plan template for a procedure. Then, as new candidates require vetting, create an action plan based on the template, ensuring that all necessary tasks such as information collection and background checks are systematically addressed.
