Using Lists to Characterize Relationships

Using Lists to Characterize Relationships

During the holidays, we're all making lists. Greeting card lists, cookie lists, 2019 goal lists, naughty or nice lists... In SAM, lists are used throughout to characterize records. Clients have a great deal of freedom to develop lists but, "checking it twice,” and reviewing lists should be done periodically to refine them and ensure your teams understand the definitions of lists.
