In your Microsoft Dynamics CRM musings, you might have come across having multiple business processes that you follow on Opportunities. What do you do if you want to track how many opportunities are following each?
Standard Process flow vs. Streamlined Process flow
The question is how many Opportunities are following the Standard Process and how many are following the Streamlined Process?
The name of the process flow cannot be added to a view within the Opportunity entity, its individual Stage Categories, the entity itself and stage name can be accessed….but not the "NAME" of the Process Flow. Here is the good news! This issue can be solved in a few minutes with a single custom text field and a one line workflow.
Once this field has been populated, standard CRM charting and reporting can be used to provide the information you are looking for.
