Table of Contents
Projects > List
Under the Projects List, you have the ability to sort projects by Opportunity and Awarded.
Bridgit Bench will maintain any applied filters when toggling between List and Gantt views.
The Type column displays if a project has been awarded or is an opportunity.
The Status column displays a project's status. Opportunities can have the status of "Pursuit" or "Lost".
- Pursuit - an opportunity that is actively being pursued.
- Lost - an opportunity that is no longer being pursued and has been marked as lost.
If you do not see the Type or Status column, click the View Columns button to toggle it on.
You can also view Win % which is only available when the project status is "Pursuit" and will automatically be nulled out when moved to "Awarded". See Pursuit Tracking Overview for more info on Win Percentage.
