## Managing Stages

Common stages: New Lead, Qualified, Site Visit, Quote Sent, Negotiating, Signed, Permits, Installation, Complete, Won/Lost.
**Reorder:** Drag & drop stage headers or set position numbers.
**Edit:** Click stage settings (⚙️) → Modify → Save.
**Delete:** Click settings → **Delete Stage** → Move projects first.
## Views
**Kanban:** Visual board with draggable cards in stage columns. Customize card fields (customer, system size, value, assigned to, etc.). Drag cards to move between stages.
**Spreadsheet:** Table view with sortable/filterable columns. Select columns to display, export to CSV/Excel, bulk actions.

## Searching and Filtering
Search by customer, project, location, or system size (instant results).
Advanced filters: customer, assigned to, date range, value, system size, tags, custom fields. Combine with AND/OR logic. Save as reusable views (personal or team).
Sort by date, value, name in Kanban or click column headers in Spreadsheet. Multi-column sort with Shift+click.
## Analytics
Track projects per stage, average time in stage, conversion rates, drop-off rates. View total pipeline value, value per stage, average sales cycle, and bottlenecks. Generate reports for pipeline health, win/loss, team performance, and forecasting.
## Best Practices
Use 5-10 specific stages (e.g., "Site Visit Scheduled" not "In Progress"). Update promptly. Add notes for losses. Assign project owners. Weekly pipeline reviews.
## Multiple Workflows
Create separate workflows for residential vs commercial, different project types, or different teams. Use descriptive names. Set default assignments. Filter across workflows.
## Automation
Set stage-based triggers: create tasks, send notifications, update fields when projects move stages.
## Troubleshooting
**Projects not moving?** Check permissions or use project details page.
**Stages not reordering?** Try manual order numbers or clear cache.
**Filter not working?** Clear conflicting filters and check date ranges.
**Missing projects?** Clear all filters or search by customer name.
