Purpose: A pipeline is a visual or conceptual representation of the progression that an opportunity or lead undergoes on its journey to a successful sale. Depending on the nature of the work or product, a pipeline typically includes multiple stages, with each stage marking a significant step in the process.
Add new pipeline
➡️ Profile icon > Settings > Opportunities > Pipelines > View > Add new pipeline > Enter the ‘Pipeline name’ > Save
Set up stages
➡️ Profile icon > Settings > Opportunities > Pipelines > View > Set up stages > Enter the stages based on the type of work > Allocate a colour > Set Rotting(days)
With the sales starter plan, you won't see the Pipeline setting, but you'll get one default Pipeline.
Add at least two Stages to each Pipeline.
Rotting days highlight Opportunities that have been idle for the set number of days.
