Dashboard Opportunity Date Filter
The Opportunity Date Filter is a dashboard feature that allows users to refine and analyze opportunities based on three critical dates: the opportunity’s creation date, the date of the last update, or the newest status change date. This functionality is essential for customizing your dashboard to better support your business strategies and objectives.
Key Benefits

You will be presented with three choices: “Status Change,” “Created On,” and “Updated On.” These options enable you to select the date property by which opportunities should be calculated or filtered.
📌Note: The filter will be applied to all opportunity cards displayed on your dashboard.
Practical Applications and Use Cases

By leveraging this feature, you can gain deeper insights into your sales performance and make more strategic business decisions.
Frequently Asked Questions
