Customizing the Attendees Section on the Call Report
Customizing the Attendees section on the call report enhances flexibility and efficiency by allowing admins to tailor the way attendees are managed and recorded.

In addition, Attendee-Specific Fields can be leveraged to provide more granular entry of attendee-related data for detailed recordkeeping. These customizations contribute to accurate and personalized call reporting, an improved user experience, and more efficient call management.

Using Attendees Section Customizations as

From the attendees section, users efficiently manage attendee information to capture which accounts attended a call and the information discussed with each. Depending on which attributes are enabled, these customizations help tailor call reporting to organizations’ processes, for improved efficiency and accurate call reporting:
- Attendee Target Filter - Only display targeted accounts as suggested attendees. This is useful for calls made against business accounts with a large number of associated HCPs. The default suggested attendees are those where the My Target check box is selected on the user’s TSF record for the territory. The user can still search for additional attendees and add them to the call even if they are not defined as targets.
- Attendees Optional – For greater flexibility when recording calls for business accounts, users can submit or save group calls against business accounts without selecting attendees. This is useful for teams which focus on account-based selling and do not have person account data available.
- Person Account Attendees – Users can add attendees to a person account call. This allows users to capture interaction information for multiple person account attendees at once.
- Search Users – To capture which internal users attended a call, users can add both accounts and Vault CRM users as call attendees. Account and user attendees display in separate categories within the Attendees section.
- Suppresses Sample Recipient – Prevents sampling by hiding the sample recipient selector on group calls. Regardless of which products, samples, or BRCs are selected on the call, users cannot select a sample recipient.
The Suppresses Sample Recipient section attribute is not supported for Unique Activities group calls.
Using Attendee Specific Fields
A dedicated Attendee-Specific Fields section displays for each attendee on the call report. For fields in this section, users can input data for each attendee individually. This ensures detailed recordkeeping for information which differs across attendees, for example, expense amounts.
For example, depending on which fields are added to the Attendee-Specific Fields section, users can capture which attendees on a call incurred expenses and the differing expense amounts for each attendee.
