Suggested uses for Contributors
Let's see how a renewal manager, Anette, might use Totango as a Contributor to manage her renewal workflow.
- When a task gets assigned to Anette (by any other team member), she receives an email. Anette can click the email to log into Totango and jump right to her tasks.
- From the Agenda tab of My Portfolio, Anette can view the task and perform the work.
- When finished, she can add a post-completion touchpoint and mark the task complete.
- All other team members see the notification from Anette's activity.
FAQs
Question: I have a "Contributor" license assigned to my profile. Why can I update lifecycle attributes from the Status widget on the account profile but not from the All tab?
Answer: This is a known issue. If a lifecycle attribute is not in the Key Info or Status widget of an account profile, you may update it by adding that attribute to a segment column.
