what is the default deal name? 


Admins have the power to set up the default deal name for deals that originate from preexisting contact and company records.
The default deal name can be configured in the "Create deal" form located within the Settings. This customization can be achieved through the utilization of personalization tokens and/or static text.

why IS HAVING a default deal name is important? 

The previous default deal name caused a lot of frustration among admins and representatives alike. Being unable to customize the name was a major pain point, resulting in a lack of flexibility and negatively impacting data quality. However, with the new default deal name ("-New Deal"), there is now some level of configurability.

By allowing admins to tailor the default deal name according to their own naming conventions, data quality is significantly improved. This customization not only saves representatives valuable time on manual data entry but also ensures that naming conventions are consistently followed across the board.

Gone are the days of dealing with inflexible default names that hindered productivity and accuracy. With the ability to configure the default deal name, admins can now create a seamless workflow that aligns with their organization's unique requirements. This enhancement truly empowers users to take control of their data and streamline their processes
