A sale is an opportunity or deal. In Atlas CRM, you track each sale as it moves through the stages of your sales funnel until it’s won or lost. You can link sales to the companies and contacts involved, and to Jira work items and Confluence pages. The information that you can store in a sale can be tailored to the need of your business by customizing the company Templates.
Sales overview
The Sales overview is a table with all sales in Atlas CRM. From here, you open a sale to see its details.
-
Search for a sale by name.
-
Sort the table by clicking a column header.
-
Resize columns to see longer values.
-
Hide or show different columns by using the culumn-selecter at the top right of the table.
To find specific sales, use filters. See Filters for more information.
Creating a sale
A sale can be created from the main Create button in Atlas CRM, or the Add new sale button on the Overview header. A modal opens in which you’ll fill in all the details of this new sale. These fields are configured by the Sales template. See Templates.
Linking
Companies and contacts can be linked to a sale so you can identify who is involved with that sale. This linking makes it clear which organizations and individual people are associated with the transaction, allowing you to track the parties participating in the sale.
Sales page
When you click a sale from the overview, its details page opens so you can inspect the available information more closely. Each tab is set up to highlight specific types of data, giving you a clear way to navigate and find what you need.
Summary
The Summary tab gives you a quick view of the sale as soon as you open it. It contains these widgets:
|

Update the status of a sale
As a deal progresses, make sure to keep the sale up to date at each stage. Regularly updating the sale ensures that both the funnel and the sales report always reflect the current situation. This practice helps keep deal status visible and accurate for everyone who depends on those reports.
Stage
The stage shows where the sale is in your sales funnel, for example “Proposal sent” or “Negotiation”. Move the sale to the next stage when the deal progresses. Either from the top right button on a Sales page, or from the sales funnel.
Your admin sets up the stages. See Sales configuration.
Status
The status shows whether the deal is still running:
-
Open: the deal is still in progress.
-
Won: the customer has agreed to the deal.
-
Lost: the deal didn’t go through.
Estimated revenue and probability
As you learn more about a deal, update its estimated revenue and estimated probability. Atlas CRM uses these values to calculate the projected revenue in the reporting.
Funnel view
You’ll find different funnel views in the left menu. These are pre-defined sets focussed on your needs. The funnel view shows open sales as cards, sorted by stage. Each column is a stage of your sales funnel, so you can see at a glance where all your deals are.
When you want to see more information about a sale, you can also switch to a table view by using the view buttons on the top right above the funnel.
Columns
Each column shows:
-
the name of the stage
-
the number of sales in that stage
-
the total amount of the sales in that stage
Your admin sets up the stages, from 1 to 20. See Sales configuration.
Cards
Each card shows:
-
the name of the sale
-
the company
-
the estimated revenue and probability
-
the assignee
To add a sale to a stage directly, click Create at the bottom of the column. You can drag and drop a card to move the sale to another stage in the funnel.
Quick view
Click a card to open the sale in a panel on the right, without leaving the funnel.
In this panel you can:
-
move the sale to another stage with the Funnel stage button
-
change the assignee, linked contacts and linked companies
-
add a note or an interaction
-
see recent activity
To open the full sale page, click Open sale.
Search and filter
Use Search sales to find a sale by name, or Filters to narrow down the sales shown. Clear filters removes all filters you added. See Filters.
Reporting
The sales report gives you an overview of your sales funnel for a week or a month. To open it, click Report in the side menu.
For the selected period, the report shows:
-
the number of sales won and the revenue won

the number of sales lost and the revenue lost
For sales that are currently open, the report shows:
