Add Decisions for an Object

A decision allows a group of users to communicate about migration project questions using Console, and to consult a single source to track questions as they are discussed and resolved.

Decisions can also document project standards, such as naming conventions.

Before adding a decision, contacts must exist for the Object. The SEND WORKFLOW check box must be checked for the contact to receive notifications about decisions.

Refer to Add Contacts for an Object for more information.
