Sales Accelerator empower your sellers to effectively engage with customers using sales accelerator.

You can manage access and record type but we already selected all security roles so just ignore it in this example.

customize workspace like filtering and sorting, work item appearance as you can see below screenshot.

Recommended next steps:

Create a sequence :

Assignment rules: Create rules that automatically assign leads and opportunities to the right sellers and teams.

Sequence reporting: Sales accelerator reports includes:

1. Seller availability : Allow sellers to set their availability so sequence steps will become relevant only when assigned sellers are available.

2. Sequence activties : Choose whether you want to pre-create linked activities in sellers timeline for upcoming sequence steps. if pre-create is off, linked activity is created on click of sequence step action.

3.Sequence reporting:
