How do I see how many days a deal has been in its current stage in Bigin?

Bigin does not show a ready-made days-in-stage counter on every deal view. The usual approach is to record the date a deal entered its stage, using a date field updated by a workflow when the stage changes, then calculate days from that date. Bigin's stage history on the deal and its pipeline reports also help you see how long deals sit in each stage.

Open a deal in Bigin and look at its timeline. Stage changes are logged there with dates, so for one deal you can see when it moved. That is fine for a quick check but not for a list view or a report across the whole pipeline.

For a repeatable number, create a custom date field such as Stage Entered On. Then set up a workflow rule that runs when the Stage field is updated and sets this field to the current date. On editions that support formula fields, add a formula that subtracts Stage Entered On from today to give days in stage. If formula fields are not available on your plan, sort or filter the list view by the date field instead.

Bigin features differ between editions and change over time, so check what your plan includes for workflows, formula fields and reports. Once the field exists, you can filter for deals stuck in a stage for more than a set number of days and act on them in your weekly pipeline review.
