Percentage Change to Close

The percentage change to close field (% chance to close) is a special field for pipeline objects with unique rules and validation. The field exists for all pipeline object types.

Inheritance

The % chance to close field is null by default, but always has an implicit value inherited from the entity’s current stage. This inheritance is applied when filtering and reporting in dashboards and charts, behaving as if the record had a percentage set explicitly.

Validation

The % chance to close must follow these rules:

1. Whole numbers only (no decimals)
2. Must be between 0 and 100 (inclusive)
3. Must be positive

 

Automation Math Operators Behavior

When using this field in an automation to perform math operations, the automation engine is smart and detects whether the value is being used as an integer or a decimal.

When the field value is being set as the result of a math operation:

First, The automation engine evaluates the result of the math operation

• If the result is less than 1, the value is multiplied by 100 before being set. In this case, it is assumed that the resulting decimal represents a percentage chance to close in the range between 0 and 1.
• If the result is greater than 1, the value is rounded to the nearest whole number.

 

When the field value is being used in a math operation:

The value is divided by 100 before being used in math operations.
