During the course of a sales process, a media campaign runs through different stages.The media campaign's probability depends on its stage.
The media campaign's standard probability will be calculated automatically after you have saved the new stage. The probabilities for the available stages are as follows:
First contact - 5%
Initial Offer (w/o request) - 10%
Stage 20% - 20%
Stage 25% - 25%
Alternative quote - 30%
Stage 40% - 40%
Offer on Request - 50%
Stage 60% - 60%
Showed interest - 70%
Stage 75% - 75%
Positive Feedback (Agency/Advertiser) - 80%
Stage 90% - 90%
Booked - 100%
IO received - 100%
Out of date - 0 %
Offer denied - 0 %

System administrators are able to edit the available pick-list values. To do so open the force.com menu with a click on the blue box on the right edge of your window. Click View Fields to display an overview of all media campaign fields.
Scroll down to the field named Stage and click on its name.
Click the New button to add a new stage.
To create a stage you enter the new stage's name in the textbox (1). To assign the probability, either enter the probability in brackets somewhere in the stage's name, e.g. "Stage Name (90%)", or name it 'Stage' followed by the percentage value, e.g. "Stage 90%". You may create multiple stages containing the percentage in their name, e.g. "Contact via Email (5%)" and "Contact via Fax (5%)". The name 'Stage' followed by the percentage without brackets is only available once, e.g. if "Stage 5%" exists, you cannot create "Stage2 5%". After entering the stage name, click Save (2).
If changes are made to existing campaign stage picklist values in the setup, you will have to make stage changes (and save) to each record that you would like to update. Following actions (for instance workflows) are not triggered automatically. |
Since you might not want to have the probability displayed in the stage's name, you can add a translation of the pick-list's value to display instead.
Under Stage, you find all available pick-list values. Doubleclick the space to the right of the stage name. In the displayed textbox you enter the label translation (1). Then click the Save button (2).
Repeat this step with different languages if necessary.
When you now return to your Media Campaign and reload the page if necessary, you are able to select the new value translation from the Stage pick-list. The probability will be the one you entered in the initial pick-list value name.
