How to Create and Manage Pipelines #

Step 1: Access the Pipelines Section #

To access pipelines in your sub-account:

• Go to your Sub-account

• Click Opportunities from the left-hand sidebar

• Select Pipelines from the top navigation menu
  

Step 2: Create a New Pipeline #

Once you are on the Pipelines page:

• Click Create new pipeline in the top-right corner

• Enter a descriptive Pipeline Name

• Click Save

Note:Pipeline names must be unique. You cannot create or update a pipeline using a name that already exists in the same sub-account.Step 3: Add and Manage Pipeline Stages

After creating a pipeline, you can define the stages that make up your workflow.

To add stages:

• Enter a Stage Name

• Click Add stage to create additional stages

• Repeat as needed to define the full flow

To manage stages:

• Reorder stages using the up and down arrows

• Control reporting visibility using the funnel and pie chart icons

• Delete stages using the trash icon

Important

• Stage names must be unique within the pipeline
• Won and Lost stages are created automatically and do not need to be added manually

Step 4: Delete a Pipeline Stage #

When deleting a pipeline stage, you can now move existing opportunities instead of losing them.

To delete a stage:

• Open the pipeline you want to edit

• Click the delete icon next to the stage

• Select a destination stage for existing opportunities

• Confirm the deletion

All opportunities from the deleted stage are automatically moved to the selected stage.

Step 5: Configure Pipeline Dashboard Visibility #

You can control whether pipelines and stages appear in dashboards and reports.

• Enable or disable pipeline visibility in:

  • Funnel charts

  • Pie charts

• Configure stage-level visibility using the icons next to each stage

These settings determine how pipeline data appears in opportunity dashboards.
