# Funnels [#funnels]

A funnel represents an ordered path such as `landing_view` → `signup_started` → `signup_completed`. Send one custom event for each meaningful step, then compare the number of events at each step in the dashboard.

## Event design [#event-design]

Go to the dashboard and select the "Funnels" tab. From there you can create a new funnel by defining an ordered sequence of page paths or events. You can also filter by properties to see how different segments of users progress through the funnel.

### Create a funnel [#create-a-funnel]

1. Navigate to the "Funnels" tab in the dashboard.
2. Click "Create Funnel".
3. Give the funnel a name, and set the completion window and step timeout (see [Funnel options](#funnel-options) below).
4. Add at least two steps. For each step, enter the path or pattern to match, choose the field to match against, and pick a match type (see [Funnel step options](#funnel-step-options) below).
5. Reorder or remove steps as needed, then save the funnel.

Keep success and failure outcomes explicit. Compare steps over the same date range and remember that ad blockers, navigation away, and failed network requests can reduce observed events.

After the funnel is created, you can view the results in the dashboard. The funnel visualization will show the number of users who completed each step, as well as the conversion rate between steps.
