What are Lead Categories?
Use Lead Categories to categorise a Lead according to its Type.
- Navigate to Lead Categories and explore existing entries via the Summary page. Lead Categories follow a hierarchical structure, with 'parent' rows linked to multiple 'children' rows directly beneath them.
- Click on the link (Name or Number) of the entry of your interest to open a modal with the related details. Select an existing Lead Category for the 'parent' to make the specific Lead Category a 'child' or erase the 'parent' name to make the specific Lead Category a 'parent' itself.
- Either SAVE the changes or cancel (X) and go back to the Summary page.
- Create a new Lead Category (ADD) or delete an existing one (REMOVE).
- Use EXPAND ALL to view 'parents' and 'children' and COLLAPSE ALL to only view 'parents'.
