  • Click on the gear icon on the Scorecard category

2. Sync Scorecard category fields with the template(s) and versions

  • Sync every scorecard category in the Template(s) and in each version

  • Please Note: Configuration sync options are not retroactive. If any version of a template is deployed, each version will need to be synced. Once each deployed version of any deployed template is synced, you can then create the report or add fields into existing report(s)

Sync the Scorecards

  • Make sure every deployed Template and each version you want to have in the Report is synced with the fields (don’t forget to also check for archived Templates/versions)

  • Go to the Gear Icon > Developer Console > Debug > Open Execute Anonymous Window

  • Copy and paste the script below:

Id[] templateIds = new Id[]{'REPLACE WITH TEMPLATE ID#'};

TSPC.CPSJob_DealRehab job = new TSPC.CPSJob_DealRehab(templateIds, null, null);

job.scSyncFields = true;

job.pbSyncFields = true;

job.debugToEmails = new string[]{'YOUREMAIL@YOURCOMPANY.COM'};

Id jobId = DataBase.executeBatch(job, 10);

  • Change the Template ID to your Template ID

    • Go to ClosePlan Admin tab

    • Click “Copy” and paste the new value into the script in the place of:

  • Change the email information to your email address.
