Enterprise CRM: Add Interested Party Assignments, Users, and Change record Owners

What Are Interested Party Assignments?

Interested Parties allow you to assign the name of a group to relevant Contact and/or Bio records. While some Interested Parties are created by default, for example your business unit, you are able to create any Interested Party names that suit your particular needs.

Interested Party Assignments can be either defaulted by a business unit taking action on a record or manually associating records as outlined below.

When and why to create new Interested Party Assignments will be dictated by your internal business processes. Check with your business processes prior to creating any Interested Party records to ensure any standard naming conventions or other necessary criteria is included.

What are My Privacy Options?

Enterprise CRM has records that it shares across all business units and organizations. The Interested Party record type is one of those records and is considered public view-only.

This means that any information you put into an Interested Party record and associate with a Contact will show on those records for any other user of Enterprise CRM, regardless of business unit, but they will not be able to edit the Interested Party record or assignment. It will show for Users not within the business unit of the Interested Party Owner as a view-only record.
