Connected records can be configured via workflows - when a record reaches the desired stage in one Team Pipeline, you can create a record automatically in another Team Pipeline that captures the next set of business activities.

Note:

1. The newly created Connected Record is just a copy of the original record in the Parent Team Pipeline. By configuring Connected Records, the record from the Parent Team Pipeline will not be deleted when a record is created in the Child Team Pipeline.  
   
2. You can create 1 connected record action per workflow.
   
3. Fields that are of the Pick-list and Check-box types, such as Stage, Sub-Pipeline, Currency, and Custom Pick-list fields, cannot be merged from the parent record.
   
4. For picklist-type fields, you can only choose from predetermined options and cannot inherit values from the parent record.
