<h4><strong>Show Stage-Wise Count Option Added</strong></h4>

<p>Upon clicking <strong>"Configure Stages View,"</strong> you can choose between:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Show Stage-Wise Count</strong></li>
<li><strong>Show Status-Wise Count</strong></li>

<h4><strong>Behavior of Stage-Wise or Status-Wise Selection</strong></h4>
