Difference between the Acquisition Program and Acquisition Program Name

[#1]

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
