Grid is endlessly customizable to the way your organization structures its CRM. Here are some common use cases and best practices for Sales using Grid.
Note: These setups and conditions are based on standard objects and fields. For your Grid, cross-reference against what you see and use in your Source platform or connect with your admin to ensure that you're selecting what's correct for your needs.
My Opportunities/Pipeline Management

Use the search function to quickly spotlight an opportunity to review or update.
