Difference between the Acquisition Program and Acquisition Program Name

Issue

There are two filters available (Acquisition Program and Acquisition Program Name), but only Acquisition Program Name appears in the lead record and is available as a column in the lead views.  What is the difference between these?

Solution

Acquisition Program is a system-managed field. It isn't available in many picklists, nor in certain filters. Acquisition Program Name is a field that allows you to use this data more freely as it is not locked by the system.

Acquisition Program = Master naming for programs

Acquisition Program Name = Friendly usable name
