Pipeline stages and the forecast

The Pipeline is an opportunity board. Each stage is a column, and each deal is a card. This page lists the parts you will meet.

Stage Meaning
New Just created, not yet worked.
Active Being worked.
Qualified A real opportunity, budget and need confirmed.
Proposal A proposal is out.
Closed Won or lost.

Each column header shows its count and value (for example New 14 · 973,000 CHF).

  • Name and company.
  • Temperature — Hot, Warm, Cold.
  • Priority — for example Normal, Urgent.
  • Commit / Omitted — whether it counts toward the committed forecast.
  • Value — in the deal currency (CHF in the demo).
  • Owner — the sales person.
  • Stage — a dropdown on the card, so you can move it without opening it.

The header shows the weighted forecast for the pipeline — each stage’s value weighted by its probability, rolled up across the board. It is a pipeline total, never a per-page sum.

  • Leads / Opportunities tabs switch the record type.
  • Pipeline selector (for example Sales Pipeline).
  • Industry, Priority, Class, Forecast and Sales person, plus a search box.
