- To find Closed/Won opportunities with common information, use the Similar Opportunities related list on the opportunity’s detail page.
- Your Salesforce admin determines the criteria used to find similar opportunities. The search finds a maximum of 10,000 opportunities with close dates in a three-month period and displays up to 300 of the records that best match the search criteria. The results are ranked by the number of matching fields.
- Results can be filtered by Close date or by matching fields.
- To see how a record in the search results is similar to your current deal, hover over the opportunity name. The matching fields are highlighted in the Match Criteria sidebar.
