Products
In Nimble AMS, you use products to represent the goods or services your association offers to your constituents. Your products are set up using product types which define what attributes the products have. For example, an event session product has a start and end date, but a merchandise product does not. Your products are purchased by your constituent using orders. Read more
Deals
Deals let staff manage their current, future (pipeline), and past sales opportunities, and is a great first step for an organization that is centralizing and automating their existing sales process. For even more advanced sales management tools, an organization can enhance the process further by using Salesforce Sales Cloud. For more robust capabilities, leverage Sales Cloud Optimization feature built by Nimble AMS. Read more
Orders
There are many products that a constituent might want to purchase from an association, such as a membership, event registration, subscription, certification/accreditation fee, or store merchandise. Constituents can also make donations. For any other types of products, Nimble AMS can track them as "miscellaneous" products. Read more

Nimble Query Help

Business Events
Business Events make it simple for app builders and administrators to use declarative tools to react to common system actions and activities. For example, rather than building elaborate triggering criteria for when a process should execute, wouldn't it be convenient if the triggering criteria could just be a simple, predefined platform event? This prevents repetitive setup across multiple processes and makes it simpler for non-technical users, abstracting out the complicated condition building in a process. Now, they can just ask, "What do I want to have happen when the complicated thing happens?" This also empowers app builders and admins to trigger processes in a powerful new way: time-based events that trigger when date and time fields elapse! Read more
Business Rules
When customizing Nimble AMS to fit your business process, admins can use a business rule configured through point-and-click to control the behavior of a technical process based on a True
or False
result or customize business rules to suit your Organization through a developer. In the Business Rules tab, admins can set what evaluations are made to determine how the business rule resolves. Read more
