Type of Column: Single Line of Text
This “Automated Column” is very useful when multiple stages are used to manage where an item is at. From an Opportunity perspective sales people will follow specific stages that must be achieved in order to move on to the next stage. From this perspective it is useful for reporting to have a snapshot of the Current stage without any effort.
Below are some screen shots to show the multiple stages of an Opportunity and the useful charts that can be created using this feature.
Note: This feature is currently available for an Opportunity defined list only.
