Outcome

You can explain each report and reproduce its visible context accurately. CRM report export is not available. CRM report drill-through is not available.

Before you start

Data, sources, and access to prepare

  • Enough permitted CRM data for the period being reviewed
  • Reviewed Deal stages, values, close dates, commission, and splits

Use only the controls that exist

CRM Reports page with report sections, date range, and scope controls visible.
Read each report using its documented formula, date rule, ownership scope, limitation, and true or filtered empty state.
  1. 1

    Open Reports

    CRM > Reports

    Wait for every report section to finish loading.

    Expected result: The KPI cards and report sections display for your permitted scope.

    If this does not happen: If any warning or Retry control appears, retry before presenting the page as complete.

  2. 2

    Choose the date range

    Reports > range selector

    Select All time, 30 days, 90 days, or 1 year.

    Expected result: Date-sensitive report components reload for the selected range.

    If this does not happen: The selector is not universal. Use the range-semantics table below before interpreting changes.

  3. 3

    Choose the Deal pipeline

    Reports > Deal pipeline selector

    When more than one Deal pipeline exists, select the intended pipeline.

    Expected result: Deal-based report sections reflect that pipeline.

    If this does not happen: If the selector is absent, only one Deal pipeline exists. Do not report an imagined cross-pipeline filter.

  4. 4

    Record context before sharing

    Your review notes

    Record the report context: range, selected Deal pipeline, current role scope, plus date of review.

    Expected result: Another reader can understand the report context.

    If this does not happen: Owner, stage, source, and other report filters are not available in the current UI. CRM report export is not available. CRM report drill-through is not available.

Apply the mixed date-range semantics

Changing the range can therefore update some figures while current snapshot panels remain constant.
Report componentHow the selected range applies
Open pipeline, pipeline by stage, closing forecast, agingCurrent snapshot. These do not become historical snapshots when the range changes.
Funnel and velocityCurrent/all-time stage-state interpretation and current stage age, not historical transition timing.
Won and LostUses ClosedAt inside the selected range.
New leads by source or typeUses the first qualifying lead-fact date inside the range.
ActivityUses activity CreatedAt inside the range.
Source OutcomesDeal count includes all deals; Won and GCI honor the selected range.

Do not label every panel as ranged

The current UI uses one range selector across reports with different time semantics. State the component-specific basis when sharing conclusions.

Interpret KPIs, forecast, funnel, and agent production

Metric or sectionDefinition and caveat
Open pipeline and GCICurrent open Deal value and commission. Flat CommissionValue wins over Value x CommissionPct.
Weighted pipelineOpen value multiplied by current stage probability.
Won and GCIDeals closed Won in the selected range and their calculated GCI.
Win rateWon divided by Won plus Lost for ranged closes; displays 0 when there are no closes.
Closing forecastOpen Deals with CloseDate, grouped by month with gross, weighted, and GCI totals.
AgingCurrent open Deals grouped under 14, 14 to 29, 30 to 59, and 60+ days.
FunnelInfers reached stages from current stage sort. Lost Deals lack complete stage history, so the funnel is approximate.
VelocityAverage age of Deals currently in a stage, not actual transition duration.
By AgentCompany-wide roles only. Internal agent splits receive GCI; no splits assigns 100 percent to owner; non-agent rows reduce owner residual.
Source to revenueConnects first/source attribution with Deal outcomes, subject to mixed range behavior above.

Report inputs must be maintained upstream

Reports aggregate CRM facts. They do not repair incomplete source records.

  • Lead facts and activityReport aggregates
  • Deal stage, value, close, commission, splitsReport aggregates
  • Report aggregatesHuman operating interpretation

Run a defensible operating review

Before presenting

  • All sections loaded without a warning.
  • Range, Deal pipeline, role scope, and date are recorded.
  • Snapshot panels are not described as historical range snapshots.
  • Funnel is labeled approximate.
  • Velocity is labeled current-stage age.
  • GCI authority and internal splits were spot-checked.
  • CRM report export is not available.
  • CRM report drill-through is not available.
Changing the range does not change a panel

Likely cause: The panel may be a current snapshot or all-time stage interpretation.

  1. Use the range-semantics table.
  2. Confirm whether the component uses ClosedAt, lead-fact date, CreatedAt, or current state.
  3. Do not assume a cache problem solely from an unchanged number.
You cannot filter by owner, stage, or source

Likely cause: Those controls are not present on the current Reports page.

  1. Use the existing range and Deal pipeline controls.
  2. Use operational CRM lists for record-level filtering.
  3. Describe any manual analysis separately from the report UI.
There is no drill-through or export

Likely cause: Current Reports is aggregate and does not expose those actions.

  1. Inspect Deals, Leads, Contacts, or Tasks with their own supported filters.
  2. Record the report context manually.
  3. Do not instruct users to click chart elements that are not interactive.
By Agent is absent

Likely cause: That section is available only in company-wide report scope.

  1. Confirm the signed-in role.
  2. Ask an authorized company-wide reviewer for the agent rollup.
  3. Do not widen scope through URL changes.
