Field Description

Click to download to your Downloads folder all opportunities in a .CSV file named MyOpps.csv. You can then open and work with that file in Microsoft® Excel®. (This icon is located next to the Opportunities area title in the upper-left corner.)

Exception: If your browser is Safari, the file is not automatically saved in your downloads folder. It displays on a separate browser tab, and you can then save it using the file name and folder of your choice.

This process downloads all opportunities in the database, subject to any access restrictions defined for your security role. The data includes all standard and custom fields, but it does not include any data from the grids on the Opportunities area tabs. After you download the opportunities, you can use Excel or another spreadsheet application that supports .CSV files to filter and format the data for reports.

Find opportunity

Use the Find opportunity field immediately above the opportunity name to search for and select the opportunity that you want to review or edit.

  • Click a previously saved custom search to display the opportunities returned by that search. (To see the search criteria for the currently selected custom search in a tooltip, hover over the search name if the search is saved, or over Custom if it is not saved. Tablet users can display the search in the Custom Opportunity Search dialog box to see the search criteria.)
  • Click Custom at the bottom of the list to create and save or apply a new custom search.
To further restrict the list of opportunities, do either of the following in the search field:
  • To display a list of opportunities with names or IDs that begin with a specific single character, type the character in the field and pause.
  • To display a list of opportunities with names or IDs that contain a specific sequence of two or more characters, type the characters in the field and pause.

If you enter characters in the search field and then want to remove them, you can click the icon at the end of the field to clear the field.

The number of opportunities in the current search results displays at the right end of the search field.
