Adding and tracking opportunities
Opportunities can be used to track leads and potential deals. Any contact or company in the Contacts module can be tracked as an opportunity. Be sure to check out the opportunity types and stages articles for more information.
Kanban View and Opportunity Cards
This updated look will display each opportunity on one card, allowing you to easily find key information, such as the total value of opportunities by currency, name, owner, and expected closing date. When you click on the opportunity card, the side-panel will show an overview of the opportunity. You can also update the stage by dragging and dropping the opportunity card along the lifecycle of the Kanban board.
Opportunity Profile
Opportunity profile ensures you have more options and information to work with, such as directly creating a custom invoice, adding proposals, tracking activities associated with that specific Opportunity, and editing that Opportunity’s profile. You can also filter each opportunities’s activity timeline by Task, Note, and Proposal to access the data that you are looking for.
