Search Filter list

Each timeline that is displayed in the Dashboard is based upon your choice of search filters.

On the drop-down list to the right of Upcoming Milestones, click All to display a timeline of milestones for all opportunities (both active and inactive), click Active to display a timeline of milestones only for opportunities with the Active status, or click Mine to display a timeline of milestones only for those opportunities with which you are associated as a team member.

To apply a custom search rather than one of the standard ones described above, click one of the saved custom searches listed below the standard ones, or click Custom to create a new custom search. In the Custom Opportunity Search dialog box, you can select search values for selected fields in the records.

To see the search criteria for the currently selected custom search in an info bubble, hover over the search name if the search is saved, or over Custom if it is not saved.

For information about creating and using searches, see the following topics in Basics:
Paging Controls Use the previous and next paging arrows on the milestone timeline to find and review both past and future milestones that span the entire timeline.

A More... link appears if there is more than one milestone for a specific date. Click this link to display a separate window where you can view additional milestones for the specified date.
