Parent/Child Opportunities 🔄

Introduction​

Amplifi-Qx Hub provides the ability to create relationships between opportunities through parent/child connections. This powerful feature helps manage complex sales scenarios where multiple opportunities are related but need separate tracking and management.

Understanding the Relationship 🤝​

Parent Opportunities​
