Moving Entries Between Stages (Drag & Drop)

One of the most powerful features of Gravity Pipeline is the ability to move entries between stages with a simple drag and drop. This guide explains how it works, what happens in the background, and how to make the most of it.

How Drag & Drop Works

1. Open your pipeline board from Forms > Gravity Pipeline.
2. Click and hold any pipeline card.
3. Drag it to the target column (stage).
4. Release to drop. The card moves instantly.

Behind the scenes, Gravity Pipeline updates the corresponding Gravity Forms entry — changing the status field value to match the new column. This means your Gravity Forms data always stays in sync with the board.

What Gets Updated

• The entry’s status field value is updated to the new stage’s form value.
• The entry’s date updated timestamp is refreshed.
• If you have stage-change notifications configured (Pro), those fire automatically.

Moving Multiple Cards (Pro)

Gravity Pipeline Pro supports Bulk Entry Management — select multiple cards using the checkbox on each card, then use the bulk action toolbar to move all selected entries to a new stage at once.

Archive Drop Zones (Pro)

Pro users have access to Won/Sold and Lost/Dropped drop zones that appear below the main board. Dragging a card into one of these zones archives it — removing it from the active board without deleting the entry. See the Archive Drop Zones guide for details.

Troubleshooting

• Card won’t move: Check that your user role has edit permissions for Gravity Forms entries.
• Card moves but returns to original column: The form value for the destination column may not match the form field choice exactly. Check your column mapping in the feed settings.
