Enable Engagements

Administrators can set up the Account, Event, and Product objects so staff can use engagements to track and manage your constituents' involvement with your association using engagements.

1. Contact Nimble AMS Support to deploy the Engagement Flow to your org.

2. Activate the Engagement - Update Primary Affiliation process (external).
3. Activate the Engagement - Submit For Review flow (external).

4. Assign permission sets (external) to staff:

   Permission Set	Description
   Nimble AMS Engagement View All	View All permissions for the Nimble AMS Engagement object, including the tab, all record types, and all fields.
   Nimble AMS Engagement Create & Modify All	Create & Modify All permissions for the Nimble AMS Schedule and Schedule Line objects, including the tabs, all record types, and all fields.

5. Add a related list to page layouts (external):
   
   1. On Account, add the Engagements related list to the Person Account Layout. If you are tracking engagements for company accounts, also add the Engagements related list to the Account Layout page layout.
   2. To view engagements for employees from a company account record, on Account, add the Child Engagements related list to the Account Layout page layout. 
   3. On Event, add the Engagements related list to the Event (NU) Layout page layout.
   4. On Product, add the Engagements related list to the Registration page layout. Add the Engagement related list to the page layout for any other record types you want to use with engagements.

6. Add any of the following Contact fields to the Person Account Layout to track biographical information about your constituents:

   Field	Data Type	Description
   Biography	Rich Text Area	A public summary about the account's career and achievements.
   Degree(s)	Picklist (Multi-Select)	Academic and professional degrees earned by this account.
   Expertise	Picklist (Multi-Select)	The association specific areas where the account has expertise.
   Interests	Picklist (Multi-Select)	The ways this account is interested in engaging with the association.
   Undergraduate Institution	Text	The educational institution where this account earned their undergraduate academic degree(s).
   Graduate Institution	Text	The educational institution where this account earned their graduate academic degree(s).
   Doctoral Institution	Text	The educational institution where this account earned their doctoral degree(s).

   

   These are custom fields on the Contact object, but Nimble AMS uses Person Accounts so you are able to interact with these Contact fields as if they were Account fields on the person account record. This keeps the data model clean because these fields pertain exclusively to individuals, not businesses.

   

   If your association uses additional custom fields to track biographical information, they can be included with these fields in a dedicated section on the Person Account Layout. The section can be named Biography, for example.

   If you're using the Degree(s), Expertise, or Interests fields, we recommend adding or updating picklist values to match your association's needs.

7. Optionally, enable Path (external) to view the Application Status in a visual path along the top of the engagement record page.
