Accessing Project Default Folder Settings
Click the hamburger menu (☰) in the top left corner of your ProLine account.
Scroll down and select "Company Settings"
A new window will appear in your browser
Click the "Projects" drop down and choose the "Stages" tab.
By default, ProLine comes preloaded with several pipelines and stages to help you get started. These can be fully customized to match your business process.
Editing Pipelines
Each pipeline represents a major category or workflow in your company (for example, Residential vs. Commercial or Retail vs. Insurance).
To edit a pipeline, look to the far right of its title and use the following tools:
Pencil Icon: Edit the pipeline name.
Paper Stack Icon: Add overlapping stages from other pipelines (useful for shared steps like “Won” or “Complete”). More on this below!
Paintbrush Icon: Change the pipeline’s color for visual organization.
Trash Can Icon: Delete the pipeline (confirmation required).
You can also rename a pipeline directly by clicking into the title field and typing a new name.
Overlapping Stages
ProLine allows you to connect pipelines via overlapping stages. For example, you can connect your sales and production pipelines via a "Won" stage that will appear in both.
To create an overlapping stage, please follow these steps:
Create a new stage within the pipeline where this stage would begin. For example, a "Won" stage would be created in the Production pipeline.
After creating the stage, head to the pipeline where the stage will be connected to and click on the pencil icon. In this example, this would be the Sales pipeline.
Click on the overlap stages icon, which is represented by a square on top of another square.
On the popup, click the dropdown menu where it says "Choose stage to add" and select the stage we wish to connect to this pipeline. In this example, we will choose the "Won" stage.
After completing these steps, the overlapping stage will appear at the end of the connected pipeline and will appear greyed out. In this example, the "Won" stage will appear in both the Sales and Production pipelines.
Editing Stages
Each pipeline contains multiple stages that define where a project sits in your workflow. These stages can be renamed, reordered, or customized using the icons located to the right of each stage.
Color Box: Change the stage color.
Pencil Icon: Rename the stage title.
Gear Icon: Open Stage Triggers to view and add automations for when a project enters this stage.
Quote Icon: Open Preview Snippet Settings to choose what information appears on your dashboards (e.g., main contact, address, project number).
Flag Icon: Open Project Portal Settings to customize the customer-facing stage name and description shown in the Project Portal. For example, rename “Creating Quote” to “Preparing Proposal.”
Information Icon: Add internal notes or training materials, including text descriptions or embedded training videos (YouTube, Loom, or file upload).
Plus Icon: Duplicate the stage for quick setup.
Eye Icon: Archive the stage to hide it from active campaigns but preserve data history.
Trash Can Icon : Permanently delete the stage (confirmation is required).
Reordering Stages: You can drag and drop stages within a pipeline to adjust their order. Be cautious when reordering stages with active projects, as it may affect automations or reports.
Stage Statuses
Each stage must be assigned a status to accurately reflect where it falls in your process. Statuses control reporting in your ProLine dashboard and should be organized in logical, chronological order.
Available Status Options:
Lead
Inspection
Open
Disqualified
Lost
Won
Unfunded
Funded
Complete
Closed
Important:
Stages can share the same status (ex: multiple “Won” stages).
The order of statuses directly impacts your reporting accuracy.
Always ensure stages progress in a logical sequence — for instance, Inspection should occur before Won or Funded.
Summary
The Projects – Stages section is the backbone of your workflow in ProLine. Customizing your pipelines and stages ensures you can track every project with accuracy, automate communications, and maintain clean reporting — all while keeping your internal and customer-facing processes aligned.
