Add/Edit Opportunity Form

Use the Add Opportunity form to add a new opportunity. Use the Edit Opportunity form to make changes or additions to information for existing opportunities. The two forms contain the same sets of fields.

Alternative: If you previously maintained your opportunity information in another CRM application from which you can export data to a .CSV (comma-separated values) file, you can add your opportunities more efficiently by importing them from a .CSV file rather than entering them one by one using the Add Opportunity form. Your system administrator can run the import process using the Import Opportunities from CSV link in the Integrations & Imports area of the Configuration workspace.

To display the Edit Opportunity form, complete the following steps:

Create Kona Space	When you add an opportunity, select Create Kona Space to create a new Kona Business space for the opportunity and link the opportunity to that space. (If you are not currently connected to Kona in the My Settings dialog box, you are asked to enter your Kona credentials.) When you create a Kona space for an opportunity, you are assigned as the Kona space owner, and the name you enter for the opportunity is used as the space name. All employees that you select as stakeholders on this page and who have email addresses are automatically invited to join the space. The Kona space displays on the Collaboration tab, and you can work in the space without leaving Deltek CRM to go to Kona Business. This option is only available if your firm has implemented integration with Kona Business and you are a member of that Kona Business account. Also, this option is not available on the Edit Opportunity page. To associate an opportunity with a Kona space after you have added the opportunity, use the Associate Kona Space option on the Collaboration tab.
Delete Opportunity	To delete a previously saved opportunity, display it in the Edit Opportunity form and click Delete Opportunity in the upper-right corner of the form. This option is only available on the Edit Opportunity form.

Field	Description
NAME	Enter the name of the opportunity. The maximum length is 255 characters.
Import From GovWin IQ	Click this link to add one or more opportunities by importing them from GovWin IQ. This link displays the GovWin IQ Opportunities dialog box. Use that dialog box to locate and select the GovWin IQ opportunities that you want to import. After the imported data is displayed, you can make changes to it, if necessary, and make entries in fields that the import left blank. When you import opportunities, the process attempts to determine if the primary customers and the competitors associated with the opportunities already exist in Deltek CRM as organizations. If that search fails for one or more organizations, you are given the option to have the import process create some or all of those organizations. Similarly, if the import process cannot verify that some contacts associated with the opportunities already exist in the Contacts area of Deltek CRM, you are given the option to create some or all of those contacts. This import option is only available if all of the following are true: Your firm has a GovWin IQ account. You have credentials for accessing GovWin IQ. GovWin IQ integration has been implemented for Deltek CRM. You are adding an opportunity. The import option is not available on the Edit Opportunity form. You must also be connected to GovWin IQ in the My Settings dialog box. If you are not connected, a login dialog box displays when you click Import From GovWin IQ so you can enter your GovWin IQ credentials.
ASSOCIATED GOVWIN IQ RECORD	If the opportunity was added by importing an opportunity from GovWin IQ, this field displays the opportunity ID and name from GovWin IQ.
