Create a lead
Step-by-step: raise a new lead as soon as an enquiry comes in.

Overview
The create-lead form starts collapsed to the three fields you need to raise something quickly - Customer, Division and Work Required - everything else is one click away behind Show More.
Step by step
- Click New Lead from the Leads list.
- Search for and select the Customer - see Search for a customer - or enter one manually.
- Choose the Division the enquiry belongs to.
- Describe the Work Required.
- Click Show More if you need to set the job name, contact details, approximate value, probability, contact date, or (admins only) sales person.
- Click Save.
Tip
Job Name is the one field from the expanded section that’s actually required - if you save without it, the form auto-expands and points you at it.
If you’re not an admin, the Sales Person field is hidden entirely - the lead is silently assigned to you.
