Custom Objects: % Chance to Close

Pipelines, often called workflows, make it easy to track and measure sales opportunities, client projects, and other internal funnels with fully-customizable pipelines.

% Chance to Close Overview

If you opted to include the % Chance to Close when adding a pipeline, you may set a standard % Chance to Close for each stage in your pipeline. Any time a record is created or moved to a new stage, it will inherit the % Chance to Close from the corresponding stage value set in the object settings, unless manually overridden.

Adding % Chance to Close Stage Values

If you are setting up a new pipeline, first refer to the article "Add Custom Object (Workflow/Pipelines)," then follow the steps below.

• If entering a value between 0-1, it will update as a percentage (ex.: .51 is 51%)
• If entering a value 1-100, it will use the number as a percentage

Entities can be edited in three ways:

1. Manually Edit an Entity
2. Quick Edit an Entity
3. Change a Field for Multiple Entities at Once
