Use a funnel chart to display progress through any process, for example, a project development cycle or a sales pipeline.

This funnel chart shows sales opportunities by stage, from prospecting to closed/won.

Like all Quickbase charts, funnel charts are interactive; select a segment of the funnel to view the record(s) associated with it. You can also apply dynamic filters to funnel charts.

Tip This funnel displays with 3D-shading. App managers can enable 3D shading for all charts, instead of the default presentation for charts. To enable 3D shading, select Branding on the App Settings page and then select Display 3D shading on charts.

The funnel chart above shows the number of sales opportunities by stage, from prospecting to closed/won.

The funnel is defined as follows:
