- I would like to know what you think the pros and cons are about managing delay / deferred deals. I am thinking the best thing is to move these to a seperate pipeline because I want to see what stage these deals got to before the client disengaged.
- Best practice is to create a “on hold” or “deferred” Pipeline to keep/manage these deals so they don’t affect deal velocity reports on other Pipelines!

- Issue about "person created date", which is in the future (2035)... anyway we can change it directly in Pipedrive?
- Contact [email protected] with person contact info and date you would like updated. Alternatively you can create a New Person and merge previous contact as shown here: https://support.pipedrive.com/en/article/merge-duplicates#merging-items-that-are-not-duplicates

- Starting as a new overall record, (contact, customer location is it best to start at the deals?
- If a qualified deal/opportunity exists for that contact then yes. If not it is best to start by creating contact and Org they belong to or linking contact to existing org. Then once an opportunity develops creating a deal off of that contact.

- Dashboard sharing password and information who access it? Making dashboard sharing link feels very insecure as anyone with link can see it. (For example ex employee of company)
- Create new link for dashboard and revoke access to previous one as shown here:

- Is there a way to have a pipeline that does not immediately start the clock until it is placed into the "contact made" column?
- Have the entry stage of that Pipeline excluded from any deal progress or duration reports. This can be configured in the report conditions to only include certain stages.

- Are Labels only supported on Organisations or can they be used for People and Deals too?
- Org, People, and Deal labels are all individual to each entity. However you can create the same label name and color for varying entities if you need to filter/sort them together

- We have 5year contracts, with updated paperwork expected to fund each year. We are currently copying from first year to each subsequent year. Is there a better way to keep this continuity, especially when we want to look at 2,3,4 or all five years at once?

- How can I as a CEO receive weekly discipline / data hygiene email? I'm interested to get summary of certain things like number of deals rotten in late stages by sales rep, number of deals above 100k with no activity in past 60 day's, deals with expected close time in past.
- Best way would be to create a new dashboard and add those three reports to it. Once added, all reports can be filtered to “this week” timeframe and include all users or specified teams. All reports would update automatically and you would simply have to look at dashboard or have the Public link open in a tab to view at any time.

- I missed how to change the "rotting" date.
- You can edit the rotting time as shown here

. Any activity created for that rotten deal, or edits of custom fields, expected close dates, value, etc. will reset the rotting cycle
