• Last Name: The family name or surname of the Channel Team Member. This field typically contains the person’s last name, such as “Doe” or “Smith.”

• Primary ID#: This field includes the unique identification number associated with the Channel Team member. It may comprise the Salesforce ID or any other unique identifier specific to the team member within the system.

• Manage Role: Admin users can select one of the following roles from the dropdown- Manager Role, Director Role & Manager and Director Role.

– Manager Role: This role is associated with Channel Team Members who are not directors and have access only to their own assigned accounts. The “Assign Primary Region” dropdown will be enabled. Admin user must select a primary region from the dropdown list (required).

– Director Role: On selecting the Director Role for a Channel Team member a new field “Are you a director for Region Level?” will be enabled with options to select different level Regions (R1- Region Level 1, R2- Region Level 2, & R3- Region Level 3). Admin user can select only one radio button out of three for the regional levels. Once the Region Level is selected, the user will assign the region (single or multiple) for the selected level. This denotes that the Channel Team Member added will have access to the selected regions.CAM with only the Director role will not have any Partner under it, but a Primary Region still needs to be assigned for the Director.

– Manager and Director Role:

If the admin user selects Manager and Director Role for a Channel Team member two new fields will be enabled- “Are you a director for Region Level?” with different level Regions (R1, R2, & R3) and “Assign Primary Region”.

Once a radio button is selected, the user must assign the region (single or multiple) for the selected level (mandatory). Primary Region is also needed to be selected for this Channel Team Members. The difference between the “Manager and Director Role” & the “Director Role” is that there are no accounts directly assigned to Directors, whereas in the Manager and Directors role, there are accounts directly assigned to the Channel Team Members.
