Setting up statuses and dropdowns is essential for getting started with CRM. This allows you to define lead and deal stages and specify values for standard fields in the CRM entity form.
Standard fields in CRM

Go to CRM > Settings > CRM settings > Start point > Statuses and Dropdowns.

Here, you can configure:

• Stages
• Sources
• Contact and company types
• Employees
• Industry
• Deal types
• Salutations
• Call statuses

Stages

Stages represent the steps in your sales process, from the first contact to deal completion. They are shown in the Kanban view in CRM.

You can configure stages for:

• Leads
• Different deal pipelines
• Invoices
• Estimates
• Documents
• SPAs

To illustrate, let's set up deal stages.

Initial stage. This is the first stage of working with clients. You can't delete the initial stage, but you can rename it. Click the pencil icon to enter a new name. To revert to the original name, click the two circular arrows icon.

Additional stages. Define the stages that help you lead the client through the sales funnel, such as sending an estimate, signing a contract, and paying an invoice.

Final stages. Mark deals as successful if the customer buys the product, or as failed if they don't. Multiple failed stages can help you analyze why deals were lost.

You can rename any stage, change its color, and reorder stages by dragging them.

This is how the deal stages look in the Kanban view.

Sources

The Source field indicates how clients found your company or contacted you. For example, it can indicate if a client called, sent an email, or filled out a CRM form on your website.

There are some default sources you can't delete, but you can rename them. Click the pencil icon to enter a new name. To revert to the original name, click the two circular arrows icon. You can add as many sources as you need.

Call statuses
