Introduction
Coordinators are shopping cart users (as opposed to administrative users) who have special access to data and tools that other regular shopping cart do not have. Coordinators are members of organizations who may need information about participants, check them in, and register walk-ups. Coordinators can also pay for and manage orders placed by other members of their organization, manage organizational funds, and place orders for their organization.
Enter a Lead Name and click the Complete button. You can optionally answer other questions including CRM Lead Form Questions. You will notice that the questions that are unique to the CRM Lead Form are not shown here. That is because they correspond to fields on the page. Selecting values for those fields will answer corresponding Lead Form questions.
Getting Started - Configurations
Your database will need to be in Organization Mode. Update your database to Organization Mode by logging into your administrative console, navigating to Settings > Setup > Configuration, finding the configuration titled "Organization Mode," turn it ON, and clicking the Save button.
Do a search for "Coordinator".
You will need to determine what coordinators will have access to. Most of these configurations are in the Coordinators section.
Others can be found in other sections like CRM, Email, Payment Processing: Refunds & Products.
Make your selections, and click the Save button. Please note that these configurations will affect all Coordinators across all Organizations. You can update the configurations later. If you have any questions, or need help determining best practices, please give us a call or drop us an email.
Getting Started - Forms
There are two relevant forms already in your database that you can modify. One is used when creating CRM leads and organizations. The other is when creating accounts and coordinators.
The CRM Lead Form
Navigate to Settings -> Assignments -> Forms and sort by "CRM Lead Form." Click the Edit Questions button to view and update the questions on the form.
By default, there is one question on the form. It is required. Click on the Add New Question button to collect more information on the form.
There are two types of questions: CRM Lead Questions and Custom Questions. CRM Lead Questions are unique to the CRM Lead Form. The questions correspond with fields on CRM Leads, so answers to those questions will populate the corresponding fields. Custom Questions allow you to gather additional information with great flexibility. They do not correspond to CRM Lead fields, but they do appear when viewing a lead or a report. Select a question to begin adding it to form. For more information, see the Creating Forms article.
The Account Form
The account form is used whenever an account is created, and this includes coordinator accounts. Navigate to Settings -> Assignments -> Forms and sort by "Account Form." There will already be a form. Click the Edit Questions button to view and update the questions on the form.
Important Note: If the form is marked Active, then it is a live account form, and making changes will effect your customers in real time. It may be wise to create a new account form, and when it is done, then to activate it. This will replace your existing account form.

The answer choices for some questions on the CRM Lead Form (and their corresponding fields) are from lists. To view and update the answer choices, go to Settings -> Assignments -> Lists and search for "lead." Select the Edit List Items icon to view and update the answer choices for the relevant Lead Form questions. For more information, see the Managing Lists article.
