Default Behavior and Recommended Options
Compares how long current opportunities currently take in each stage of your process with the same data for historical deals. Click a stage in the main chart and the chart to the right shows deal movement from that stage to others. The main chart shows historic and current average number of days deals spend in that stage.
By comparing current with historical data, the dashboard determines which deals are at risk and displays them in neglected, stalled, and pushed opportunities charts at bottom of dashboard.
Data comes from the Opportunity History table, which supports only the standard amount and stage name fields.
The Stage Name filter uses stage names in the standard StageName field in the Opportunities object.
Wizard and Other Setup Options
The Sales Analytics dataflow determines neglected opportunities. Change the threshold from the default 60 days to your team’s preferred length of time using the Dataflow Editor. See Configure the Dataflow with the Dataflow Editor.
