# Configuring a CRM board
How to setup CRM boards for your location.
Use this procedure to add and configure a CRM board and its stages.
You can set up different stages (columns) on your CRM board to represent the steps in a particular process, such as a sales pipeline. Stages can automatically receive opportunities when someone completes a tour request, signs up, makes a booking or ends their contract for one of your plans. This helps to automate your sales process.
Each stage can also trigger a task list or send canned response when an opportunity is added. This makes it easy to assign a set of tasks to different people in your team when someone is added to one of the stages on a board or to notify that person or a member of team when this happens.
Typically, you will have different boards, each dedicated to one of your processes. Keep in mind that boards help you track progress through many different processes, not just sales. For example, to organise events, on-boarding members, or marketing activities. An example of how two typical boards may look like is shown below. In this view, you can see each of the boards, each of the columns or steps in them and basic information about what is sitting in each of the steps, like number of opportunities, their total value and whether they have any due items in them.
