Create a new target and values

Create a target which will allow employees to group customers, locations or accounts that share similar needs that your company hopes to serve, i.e. customers most likely to prescribe your product, accounts where you wish to win formulary status, etc.

The overall target has a name, and the values are how you segment that target. It might be as simple as a Yes value, or more complex with several choices, e.g. gold, silver, bronze values, etc.

Targets and their values can be used in Data Explorer searches to generate lists for call planning, and in reporting for analysing contacts against targets.

From the menu select Administration, Target Administration.

Click to select an entity (Customer, Location, Account) to view existing targets and values, and to create new ones.

Create new target

Under the Actions tab click the Show button to open the actions associated with Targets.

Click Add Target and create a name for the new target. The target name must be unique.

Click the OK button to create the target

The target will appear as a blue disk with a 0 inside. This number will increase as records are flagged as targets.

Add values

Once the target has been saved, further actions become available and values for the target can be set up.

The values appear as radio buttons on the entity record that can be checked to indicate that the customer, location or account is part of the target group.

Click to select the target and the colour will change from blue to purple.

Under the Actions tab click Add Value. Type a name for the value in the Add new target value box.

Click the OK button and it will appear as a value associated with the target. The Target Value will now appear as an option on the entity record.

Employees can flag their targets themselves or, if you wish Actis to upload a pre-defined list of targets please contact us directly for further information.
