We’ve enhanced Playbook with a new capability that offers both admins and sellers more flexibility when setting proposal expiration dates.

Instead of relying solely on a fixed expiration rule, you can now dynamically calculate the expiration date based on a numeric input from the Playbook.

How It Works

A new "Expiration Date" option is now available in the Playbook settings. Admins can configure it in one of two ways:

• Default: Applies the standard expiration period defined in your system settings.
• Custom: Links to a numeric Playbook question that determines how many days should be added to the proposal creation date.

Additionally, there’s an optional setting that lets sellers manually adjust the expiration date—providing the perfect balance between automation and flexibility.

Admins can now manage whether users are allowed to sign the proposal externally.
This gives admins more control over who’s authorized to complete the signing process.

To configure, go to: User Management> Permissions tab.

We’ve expanded how parameters can be used, making them more flexible across the platform.
In addition to output documents, parameters are now supported in approval workflows and submit validation.

What’s new:

• Autocomplete for parameters in workflows and submit validation.
• A unified Parameters Page (replacing the old Document Parameters page) for managing all parameters.
• Automatic migration from [DocumentParameter.X] to [Parameter.X] for existing setups.
• The old Document Parameters page is now marked as deprecated, with a notice and redirect.

These changes make parameters easier to manage and keep their usage consistent across the platform.

This feature is per request for setup guidance, configuration best practices, and help getting started please contact your Customer Success Manager.

We’re excited to announce a new enhancement to the product catalog: Product Hierarchy Configuration! This feature allows you to organize and manage your product catalog with greater clarity and flexibility, making it easier to structure relationships between different products.

With the Product Hierarchy feature, admins can:

• Define Relationships – Establish clear parent-child connections between products, ensuring a well-structured and organized catalog. This simplifies the grouping of related products and streamlines the selection process.
• Enforce Mandatory Products – Ensure that essential products are always included when configuring solutions. This helps maintain consistency and prevents crucial components from being overlooked.
• Add Alternatives – Provide flexibility by offering substitute or alternative product options. This allows users to choose the best fit while preserving the integrity of the overall product setup.

When a product hierarchy is enabled in Playbooks, sellers follow a structured product selection process instead of manually choosing from an open product catalog. This ensures that required products are included, alternatives are selected correctly, and optional products are available as needed.
