Filter by Stage

Use the Stage list to filter the contents of Historical Pipeline Analytics by stage. When you display the analytics initially, they display historical pipeline data for all GovWin Capture Management opportunity stages for which historical data exists.

When you filter the Historical Pipeline Analytics by stage, that filter is also applied automatically to the analytics on other tabs in Capture Analytics. The only exception is the Bid and Win Rates tab. Applying a stage filter to that tab would, in many cases, result in incorrect rate calculations, so those analytics are never filtered by stage.

Available Stages

Included Stages

The Stage list includes all stages for which historical pipeline data exists

If your firm discontinues use of a stage and marks that stage in Costpoint Analytics as no longer included in the current pipeline, it will still appear in Stage on the Historical Pipeline tab if historical pipeline data exists for it.

Detail and Grouped Stages

By default, the Stage list contains the stages as they are set up in GovWin Capture Management, and the analytics that break down data by stage display data for those stages.

However, Capture Analytics provides a configuration option that enables your firm to define groups of stages by combining two or more of the original GovWin Capture Management stages into a single stage. That enables you to analyze stage data not only at the detail level for individual GovWin Capture Management stages but also at a higher, or summary, level. Historical pipeline for a grouped stage is the sum of the historical pipeline amounts for the individual stages included in the group.

If your firm has set up grouped stages, use the Detail and Grouped options to view historical pipeline either for the original GovWin Capture Management opportunity stages (detail stages) or for the grouped stages. When you select the Grouped option, the Stage list displays the grouped stages, and you can then select one or more of those as filter values, just as you do with the detail stages.

Costpoint Analytics groups stages based on the current groups in your configuration settings. It is possible that the groups were different at the time the history data was collected.
