Configuring user coverage

Coverage is a method for assigning users or groups of users to be responsible for specific clients, opportunities, or events.
The Coverage page enables you to create and manage client coverage groups, assign coverage roles to different coverage group types, assign default client coverage and opportunity coverage roles to users, and configure coverage inheritance.
Note: Coverage groups for clients, events, and opportunities are distinct groups. For example, a user can have different roles in a client coverage group and an opportunity coverage group. The roles that are available to a user may also differ from one coverage group to another. A coverage role is the role assigned to a user when covering a client or an opportunity.
