The Pipeline board displays the deals on cards grouped by statuses in columns, each column having a different deal status set, at your choice.

The Pipeline is to be found in main left menu, under Deals

On the right upper corner of the screen there is  a + symbol for adding a new column, Pipeline Settings button and a reload button.

How to add Pipeline Column using + symbol

You have the option to add as many columns as you need, each column is related to a status of the Deal as set in Settings/CHOICE LISTS/Status. You cannot have a pipeline column without selecting a deal status, but, you may create more columns for the same status of a deal. 

  • give a title for your new pipeline column

  • select the deal status from drop down 

  • check mark Display Cards so you see the cards on the Pipeline board 

  •  if you want to limit the number of cards, check this option and set a number

  • if you want to hide older cards check this option and set a number of days 

  • Define the type of the action for the pipeline column: Enable Quick Add Action: Create Lead or Create Deal or None 

  • click SAVE

A Lead can be created for an already existing customer. When this is the case, the search of a customer is made automatically when typing email address, or, you may use Search existing option and search for other persons.
