Hi
Im new to Hubspot and just trying it out whilst we decide on a new CRM. At this stage we are only using it as a CRM.
I want to view all lifecycle stages in one dashboard and see all contacts/or companies that are currently in each stage.
Similar to the dashboard for deals but I cant see how to do it for lifecycle stage.
Is this an option?
Hi @EMcKenna,
This is possible with a beta that you can find under Settings > Product updates > All > Enhanced board experience and Board View for Contacts & Companies:
Enhanced board experience and Board View for Contacts & Companies
What is it?
This update brings you both:
- The option to see your contact and company records in a board view, and
- A redesigned board experience across all objects with a board view--including deals and tickets
Here’s what you’ll find:
- Board View for Contacts & Companies: See your records organized by lifecycle stages for a real-time, actionable view
- Faster Scanning: Enjoy a streamlined board and card design for quick prioritization
- Personalized Views: Add up to 2 extra properties and reorder for your needs (applies to each user)
- Quick Actions: Take immediate action directly from board cards without leaving the board
See Loom for a walkthrough.
Why does it matter?
The new contact and company board views offer a visual pulse on your customer lifecycle journey, empowering you to:
- Proactively manage relationships
- Spot opportunities
- Make data-driven decisions
The enhanced experience will boost user productivity with a clearer, more efficient, and personalized board view. Users can scan faster, prioritize better, and customize their own view with 2 extra properties. Admins can now edit card settings directly on the board, eliminating the need to navigate to a separate settings page and saving time.
How does it work?
To access the new board view for Contacts and/or Companies, navigate to your object index page:
- CRM > Contacts
- CRM > Companies
Click the board icon in the upper left corner of the page.
To customize your board experience:
- Go to your CRM board (left menu, select a CRM object)
- Click “Board options” (top right) or hover over a card and use the dropdown (top right)
- Admins: Choose Edit cards (for all users) or Edit cards (for your view)
- Users: Choose Edit cards (for your view)
- Customize card sections:
- Properties: Admins (select up to 4), Users (add up to 2 extra, reorder)
- Priority: Toggle on/off color-coded tags and priority dot
- Associations: Customize displayed associations
- Activities: Customize displayed activities
Who gets it?
All hubs and tiers
Best regards!
