For more information on creating targets and goals, see Creating Classic Cycle Plans.

Adding Multiple Targets from an Account List
Alternatively, Account Lists can be used to add multiple targets to a cycle plan at once. Adding accounts from an Account List enables users to add several accounts at once, saving time and increasing efficiency. Account Lists can be used to group accounts based on any desired attributes, for example, historical sales data, field input, or marketing initiatives.

-
Select the Apply List button.

Select the appropriate Account List.
Users must be the account list owner to access Account Lists.

All in-territory accounts in the list are added as target accounts. If an account is already a target for the plan, it is not re-added. After adding targets from an account list, add goals by editing the new targets.
Editing Targets as

To edit a target, select the target name link from the Cycle Plan Targets table.
From the Edit Target Account page, users can edit the Planned values for the account or add additional detail product goals for the account. If a new product detail goal is added for the target, a corresponding Cycle Plan Detail record is created.
