Opportunity : Resolution Activities

When an opportunity is either won or lost, a special type of activity is generated called a Resolution Activity.
Users can open these activities and see information regarding
  • when the activity took place,
  • the actual sales value,
  • why they might have lost an opportunity,
  • or the competitor to whom it was lost.
