Ability to Share Interaction Outcomes with Other Stakeholders
Enables the user to share customer calls and web conference interactions with other participants and stakeholders
- By sharing the outcomes of customer interactions, meeting participants and team members can stay informed about the latest developments, ensuring that everyone is on the same page. This reduces miscommunication and ensures a unified approach to customer management.
-
Stakeholders can collaborate more effectively when they have access to interaction outcomes.
-
When interaction outcomes are shared, there is a clear record of what was discussed and agreed upon, which increases accountability among team members and transparency with customers.
Steps to Enable
You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
Tips And Considerations
Sharing an Interaction During Creation:
When manually logging an interaction (via 'Log an interaction' or 'Log a call'), the user will find a 'Share with' field to select team members to share the interaction with. Additionally, located below the 'Share with' field are two checkboxes: 'Share via notification' and 'Share via email'. The user has the option to share the interaction either through a notification within the application or using an email template.
Sharing an Interaction Post Creation:
For interactions that are already created or generated automatically (like Phone calls or Zoom meetings), the 'Share' smart action becomes available within the action menu of the interaction records. Invoking this action opens a drawer showcasing the 'Share with' field for user selection of team members to share the interaction. Similar to the process during creation, two checkboxes—'Share via notification' and 'Share via email'—are present below the 'Share with' field. The user can opt to share the interaction either via an in-application notification or as an email template.
Sub-view for Activity, Notes & Interaction Items in Associated Objects
In addition to the Activity feed, dedicated sub-views are available to view Activities, Interactions and Note records for associated objects in Redwood Sales.
- Enables users to apply search and filter out activity and interaction records from an associated object record i.e. Account, Opportunity, Lead and Contacts
- Records purged from Activity feed can be viewed from the subview.
Steps to Enable
Leverage Application Composer to expose and adjust page layout and attributes. To learn more about extending your application using Application Composer, visit Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > Books > Configuration and Extension.
In order to access the individual subviews, smart actions such as 'Show Appointments', 'Show Tasks', 'Show Notes' and 'Show Interactions' are enabled by default.
However for additional actions in the activities such as directly initiating or logging interactions. The actions need to be enabled from Application composer.
Here's how to enable the interactions smart action
- Sign in as a Sales Administrator or as a setup user.
- Activate a sandbox.
- Navigate to Application Composer, in the Configuration category.
- In the navigation tree, expand 'Common Setup' and click on 'Smart actions'
- From the search bar, search for the smart actions individually i.e Call, Send Email, Log a call, Log an email & Log an interaction for the activities object
- From the search results duplicate the existing smart action In the 'Availability' tab of the create smart action page, include 'Sales' in the application field and 'List page' in the UI availability field and "Submit'
- Test the changes: Navigate to Sales > Activities > click on the action menu for an activity and verify whether the actions will be displayed for the activity record
- Publish the sandbox
With this feature, there is also change in behavior of the Activity and Interaction links in the list page and the subview. Upon clicking on an Activity or Interaction link, the record will directly open from a drawer from where the users can view and edit the record. This is a change from the existing behavior where clicking an Activity record drills-down to a associated object.
Associate a Call from an Unknown Number to a Record
Occasionally, users will receive a call where the phone number is unknown, and there's no existing contact record in the database. In 24B, we have introduced a more intuitive and flexible user interface for associating unknown caller to a contact or lead. Now when there is an unknown caller to a Sales user, the user is navigated to a screen where they can associate the caller to a existing contact or lead, or they can create a new contact or lead. The Sales user can capture the details of the interaction and save it to the record.
- Automates data capture and record association when contacted by unknown caller, reducing manual call logging effort and allowing teams to better focus on core tasks, improving operational efficiency.
- Ensures no interactions from contacts or leads are missed by capturing details from calls with unknown numbers.
Steps to Enable
In order enable this feature, log in as Sales Administrator role (any user having access to Setup and Maintenance)
- Go to Setup and Maintenance
- Under Tasks > Search
- Search for "Manage Screen Pop Configuration" and drill down
- Modify the following then click Save and then Done
- Disable - Default Redwood Rule Set
- Enable - Default Redwood Sales Rule Set
- Enable - Default Redwood Sales Rule Set
Tips And Considerations
The ability to handle unknown callers is already present in the CX Sales application. However, this feature introduces a new user interface, enabling users to directly associate a call from an unknown number to an existing record, or to create a new contact or lead from it.

Engagement Level for Accounts in the Interaction Summary of Account Hierarchy Subview
Engagement Level column is added to the Interaction Summary sub-tab inside the Account Hierarchy subview to identifying accounts that needs more attention.
If a seller sees that an account is Lonely or Moderately Engaged, they can be alerted to the fact that they need to increase their engagement with the account. This could be due to a number of factors, such as the account being in a dormant state or the seller not having enough time to focus on the account.

Ability to Drill into Rollup Field to Inspect the Components and Values that are Being Used in the Rollup Calculation
Sellers can now gain greater knowledge and confidence with the customer data that they create and view every day. Through the new aggregate framework, they can quickly inspect summarized information and adjust their priorities and activities. The ability to then drill into a summary to learn about its composition and find specific points of interest is the next important knowledge gap that this feature now satisfies. Sales users will use these new, focused views to make more targeted decisions and earn more effective returns.
Summarized data using rollups bring new functionality to the CRM experience for the seller. Being able to view an aggregate offers strategic insight into the status of a customer or process. It also saves the user a considerable amount of time. Typically, a sales user would have to access and export data from various sources and pull them together on a spreadsheet in order to achieve the rolled-up value. When presented with a rollup, the seller next wants to view, inspect, or explore the data that was used to render the rollup value. Drill down into rollups enables users to focus on relevant and actionable pieces of data.

Sign Contracts with Adobe Acrobat Sign 
You can now use Adobe Acrobat Sign to manage the electronic signature process for contract documents created in Enterprise Contracts. When you send the contract for signature, you can optionally add a CC recipient, specify the signing order and add a private message for each signer. Acrobat Sign sends the documents for signature, and you can track the progress from Manage Signatures action or the History tab of the contract. The contract status is set to Active automatically once all the signers have signed the contract.
Sending a Contract for Signature
When you create a contract from a contract type enabled for Acrobat Sign, you can designate one or more party contacts as signers on the Parties page and provide valid email for them. When the contract is in Pending Signature status, a user with edit privileges on the contract can send the contract for signature to the designated signers by email. Such a user can be an administrative user or a user with full access on the contract. The contract author who plans to send the contract for signature must have a valid email address and must be set up as a user in the Adobe Acrobat Sign account that's specified in the electronic signature setup. The Fusion Applications email ID of the user must match the Adobe Acrobat Sign account email ID. When you click on Sign Contract, in the integrated UI, Acrobat Sign agreement is created. You can add more tags in the agreement, add additional signers, add a private message to signers etc.
Contract Parties Tab
The signers are to be added in this tab for the internal and external parties with the signing sequence. You have the option to tag a signer as Information Only.
Managing the Electronic Signature Process
The signer who receives an email from Acrobat Sign can either sign or decline to sign. If the signer declines, the contract status changes back from Sent for Signature to the previous Pending Signature status. The sender of the contract can then make the required corrections to the agreement before re-sending it for signature. After the agreement is sent for signature, the sender can modify the agreement to add additional files and all the signers will see the updated document. Sender can also cancel the agreement and all the signers will receive an email about the cancellation.
Contract Validation
The documents added in the Documents tab of category Contract are appended to the agreement when it's sent for signature. The following formats are supported by Acrobat Sign. .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, .rtf, .txt, .htm, .html, .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png, .tif and .tiff. If any other document type is added, contract validation process will result in error.
View Electronic Signature History
The sender can view the electronic signature history of the current version of the contract in the Signatures region of the History page.
Track Electronic Signature Status
This scheduled process tracks the electronic signature process and makes the consequent contract status updates. When all signers have signed, this process retrieves the signed contract document from the Acrobat Sign and stored in the Documents tab. The status of the contract is set Active.
Contracts can be sent for signature automatically by running this process. If the contract status is 'Pending Signature', and if AutoSendForSignature ='Y' (the flag is set in the contract header using Webservice) the contract is sent for signing and the status of the contract is set to 'Sent for Signature'.
Contract signature process is made efficient, easy and secure with Adobe Acrobat Sign. The entire signature process from generating the agreement to tracking the signatures can be managed within the contract.
Steps to Enable
Prerequisites

Customer Data Management
Sellers Can View and Inspect Orders From the Redwood Customer Sales Account
Redwood Sales users now have oversight of the sales orders that are created in Fusion Order Management after the quoting process is complete.
Important customer activities and transactions happen after the sale is complete, but none of the information is shared back into the customer account in CRM. With visibility over Sales Orders from Oracle Order Management, account managers and other sellers can be informed of the status and details of every order that has been processed as a result of the upstream opportunity. This awareness will influence and guide sellers on the next action for the account, whether it's preparing for the next customer engagement, or planning the next renewal or upsell.
Steps to Enable
Leverage the Visual Builder Studio to expose your applications. To learn more about extending your application using Visual Builder, visit Oracle Help Center > your apps service area of interest > Books > Configuration and Extension.
