# Understanding the Pipeline visualization

The Pipeline visualization offers a clear, linear display of data across multiple stages, ideal for tracking step-by-step progress and conversion rates within a defined process. Each stage can be assigned a metric or dimension, allowing for detailed analysis of progression through a sequence, such as a sales funnel or project workflow. This visualization is valuable for visualizing stages with a directional flow, providing an overview of where drop-offs occur and highlighting opportunities for improvement.

## Features

The following features highlight the key functionalities of the Pipeline visualization:

- Display up to 15 stages, each representing a metric or dimension, with an optional 16th "Other" stage to group remaining values.
- Dimensions within a single stage can be stacked and are automatically color-coded for easy differentiation.
- Stage names can be customized.
- Comparisons are configured individually for each stage.
- Stages can be sorted by value, metric or dimension name, change value, or manually rearranged in a custom order.
- Conversion rates can be calculated either stage-by-stage or relative to the first stage.
- Option to hide conversion rates if desired.
- The chart legend can be hidden to maximize display area.


## Considerations

- Customization of pipeline and stage colors is not supported in this visualization.


## Use Cases

The Pipeline visualization is well-suited for use cases that involve tracking progress or conversion across a set of ordered steps, such as:

- **Sales Funnel Analysis**: Track each stage of the sales process to identify bottlenecks and optimize conversion rates.
- **Customer Journey**: Visualize each touchpoint in the customer journey to understand drop-off points and enhance engagement.
- **Project Stages**: Monitor the progress of tasks through phases, ensuring timely completion and identifying delays.
- **Recruitment Funnel**: Track job applicants through stages in the hiring process to improve recruitment efficiency.
