Journeys

Move, close, and reopen

Move journeys between stages, mark them won or lost, and reopen closed ones.

A journey's place on the board should always reflect reality: move the card as the patient progresses, close it won when they start treatment, close it lost when they don't — with a reason — and reopen it if they come back.

Move a card between stages

Drag a card to another column and drop it. On a touch screen, press and hold the card for a moment, then drag. You can also change the stage from the Stage dropdown in the Journeys panel of the patient record.

Moving a card forward tells SmileLine you've acted on the lead: the first forward move records the first contact attempt, and any open first-contact task for that journey on the Today page is completed automatically.

Only active journeys can be dragged. To move a won or lost journey, Reopen it first.

Mark a journey won

Either drag the card into your board's won stage, or pick Mark won from the card's menu (also available in the journey detail dialog and on the patient record). Both do the same thing: the journey moves to the won stage, its status becomes Won, and the close date is recorded.

Mark a journey lost

Open the card's menu and choose Mark lost….

Pick a Reason — this is required, and it feeds your missed-revenue reports. Lost reasons are managed in Settings by admins and owners.

Optionally add a Note with context, then click Mark lost.

The Mark as lost dialog with the reason dropdown and optional note

Losing is not a stage move: the journey keeps the stage where it stalled, along with all its history. The card fades and disappears from the board unless Show lost is on. Any open first-contact task for the journey is cancelled.

Reopen a journey

People change their minds. To bring a won or lost journey back, choose Reopen from the card's menu, the journey detail dialog, or the patient record. The journey becomes active again in its current stage, and its close date, lost reason, and lost note are cleared — move it to whichever stage now fits.
