This article will help you achieve a better understanding of the different views to organize your deals, various deal stages, sections within a deal, and functions of each component (or related list) on the page layout.
Views
When you enter the Deal Pipeline tab, you will have two views available to display your records.
The Table view is the default and looks much like a spreadsheet. You can edit fields to display in the columns, and even filter and sort.
The Kanban view shows tiles (records) that are sorted into columns. You can change how the columns and summaries display via the Kanban settings option. Generally, for the Deal Pipeline, the columns are set to the Deal Stages, and it summarizes by Gross Commission.
