How to Use ClickUp for CRM Reporting
ClickUp makes it easy to turn scattered customer data into clear CRM reporting, so sales and customer success teams can track performance, spot trends, and plan next steps with confidence.
This how-to guide walks you through setting up CRM reporting, building views, and creating dashboards based strictly on the features and workflows described in the original CRM reporting article.
Step 1: Plan Your ClickUp CRM Structure
Before building reports, design a simple structure for customer and deal information in ClickUp. This ensures clean, reliable data for every report.
Define CRM goals in ClickUp
Decide what you need to measure and monitor. Common CRM reporting goals include:
- Tracking the number of new deals created
- Measuring win rate and revenue by stage
- Monitoring sales cycle length and velocity
- Reviewing performance by owner or team
List your key questions, such as:
- Which stages lose the most deals?
- Which reps close the most revenue?
- How long does it take to move from prospecting to closed won?
Set up a CRM Space in ClickUp
Create a dedicated Space for CRM and sales activity.
- Create a new Space and name it something like “Sales CRM”.
- Add Folders for major processes, such as “Pipeline”, “Accounts”, and “Onboarding”.
- Within your Pipeline Folder, create a List called “Deals” for all open and closed opportunities.
This gives you a central home for every deal and account before you start reporting.
Step 2: Build CRM Custom Fields in ClickUp
To power strong CRM reporting, you need consistent fields on every deal task in ClickUp.
Essential CRM fields to add
On your Deals List, create Custom Fields for the core data you want to analyze:
- Deal Value (Currency field)
- Close Date (Date field)
- Deal Stage (Dropdown: Prospecting, Qualified, Proposal, Negotiation, Closed Won, Closed Lost)
- Owner (User field for the responsible rep)
- Lead Source (Dropdown: Referral, Organic, Paid, Event, etc.)
- Company Name (Text field or separate Account relationship)
Use clear, standardized options in dropdowns. This is crucial because every ClickUp report and dashboard chart relies on consistent values.
Standardize task statuses in ClickUp
Statuses help you track the lifecycle of each deal.
- Create statuses that mirror your CRM sales process.
- Include at least one status for active deals and separate statuses for Closed Won and Closed Lost.
- Apply this status workflow across all views so reports stay accurate.
Step 3: Create CRM Views in ClickUp
ClickUp views let you filter and organize CRM data for different stakeholders without changing the underlying tasks.
Board view for visual pipeline management
Use a Board view grouped by Deal Stage to manage your pipeline visually.
- From your Deals List, add a Board view.
- Group by your Deal Stage Custom Field or by task Status.
- Enable card fields like Deal Value, Close Date, and Owner.
Reps can drag and drop deals between columns, and that movement will automatically feed into your reporting later.
List and Table views for CRM reporting in ClickUp
For more analytical work, use List or Table views.
- Sort by Close Date to see upcoming deals.
- Group by Owner to review performance by rep.
- Filter by Status or Stage to show only active or closed deals.
Save multiple views for different reporting needs, such as:
- “This Month’s Closures” filtered by Close Date
- “High-Value Deals” filtered by Deal Value above a threshold
- “Lost Deals” filtered by Closed Lost status
Step 4: Build ClickUp Dashboards for CRM Reporting
Dashboards turn your ClickUp CRM data into visual widgets that update automatically.
Create a CRM dashboard in ClickUp
- From the Dashboards section, create a new Dashboard and name it “Sales CRM Reporting”.
- Connect it to your CRM Space or Deals List so all widgets pull from the same data.
- Invite relevant stakeholders, such as sales leaders and account managers.
Key dashboard widgets for CRM reporting
Use the widgets described on the source page to mirror classic CRM reports inside ClickUp:
- Number widgets to show total pipeline value, new deals this month, and closed revenue.
- Bar charts to compare win rate, revenue, or count of deals by Owner or Stage.
- Pie charts to show distribution by Lead Source or deal type.
- Table widgets for a filtered list of high-priority or late-stage deals.
Combine these widgets to give leaders a real-time overview of the entire funnel.
Step 5: Automate CRM Reporting in ClickUp
Automations in ClickUp reduce manual work and keep your CRM reports accurate.
Automation ideas for CRM workflows
Based on the use cases described in the original article, set up automations such as:
- Update Deal Stage automatically when a status changes.
- Assign a task to a specific Owner when a deal reaches a certain stage.
- Set or adjust Close Date when a deal is moved to Closed Won or Closed Lost.
- Trigger a follow-up task when a deal stays in a stage for too long.
These automations help maintain data quality, which directly improves every CRM report and dashboard inside ClickUp.
Step 6: Analyze and Improve CRM Performance with ClickUp
Once your structure, fields, views, and dashboards are in place, use your ClickUp CRM reporting to drive decisions.
Use ClickUp reports to answer key sales questions
With the dashboards you built, you can quickly answer:
- Which stages cause the most revenue loss?
- Which lead sources bring in the highest-value deals?
- Which reps have the highest win rate and shortest sales cycle?
- How much revenue is expected to close this month or quarter?
Filter and segment your widgets to explore patterns and trends, then adjust your sales strategy accordingly.
Refine fields and dashboards over time
Keep improving your ClickUp CRM reporting by:
- Adding new fields when you discover new metrics to track.
- Cleaning up unused dropdown values to keep data consistent.
- Creating specialized dashboards for leadership, reps, and customer success.
- Archiving old views so the workspace stays simple.

- Link deals to onboarding or implementation tasks.
