Working with the Funds Homepage

The Funds Homepage is the starting point for managing funds and fund requests.

NOTE: Your company administrator can customize the layout of your Funds Homepage. In addition, if your user role includes the Personalize Homepages privilege, you can add sections to the page and remove sections from the page.

Creating a Fund or a Fund Request

You can create a fund or a fund request by either clicking Fund or Fund Request in the Create section at the left of the Fund Homepage. For more information, see Creating Records and Fund Fields.

Working with Fund Lists or Fund Request Lists

The Fund Lists and Fund Request List sections show a number of lists. Oracle CRM On Demand comes with a set of standard lists. All standard lists are public and visible to everyone. You and your managers can create additional lists, based on different criteria. These custom lists appear above the standard set of lists.

The following table describes the standard fund lists that are available by default.

The following table describes the standard fund request lists that are available by default.

To view a list, click the list name.

To create a new list, click New. For more information about creating lists, see Creating and Refining Lists.

To review all available lists, create a new list, or view, edit, or delete an existing list, click Manage Lists. The Manage Lists page also includes the standard lists delivered with Oracle CRM On Demand. These lists are view-only. So, you cannot edit or delete them.

Viewing Your Pending Fund Requests

To view your pending fund requests, look in the My Pending Fund Requests section, which shows the following information: Fund Request Name, Fund, Pre-Approved Req, Granted, Approved, Request Date, Due Date, and Status.

Your pending fund requests are the requests with the status of Pre-Approval Submitted.

Viewing Open Activities for Fund Requests

To view the open activities for fund requests, look in the Fund Request - Open Activities section, which shows the following information: Due Date, Priority, Activity, Subject, and Fund Request.

This information provides the list of the open activities that are linked to your fund requests. The Priority field shows the priority for tasks that you or your manager specified, such as 1-High, 2-Medium, or 3-Low. The task priority is indicated by arrows: an up arrow for high priority, no arrow for medium priority, a down arrow for low priority.

NOTE: If your company administrator has changed the default values for the Priority field, arrows might not be displayed in the Priority field in the task lists.
