You can override the default name.

Business Account Class

The business account class of the business account you are creating. A business account class, which is defined on the Business Account Classes (CR208000) form, determines the settings to be used for business accounts of the class, which may include the following: the default owner, the default assignment map, default email address settings, and additional elements to be displayed on the Attributes and User-Defined Fields tabs of both the Business Accounts (CR303000) form and this dialog box.

Tip:

Only attributes defined as required for the class on the Business Account Classes form are shown in the dialog box, while all attributes of the class are shown on the Business Accounts form.

Similarly, only user-defined fields defined as required for the class on the Edit User Defined Fields(CS205020) form (when it was opened for the Business Accounts form) are shown in the dialog box, while all non-hidden user-defined fields for the class are shown on the Business Accounts form.

To determine the default class (if any) to be inserted into this box, the system searches the following locations in the listed order until it finds a class (at which point the search ends):

  1. The Lead Classes (CR207000) form for the lead class of this lead: Here the system checks the Account Class ID box in the Conversion Settings section of the Details tab.
  2. The Customer Management Preferences (CR101000) form: On this form, the system uses the class in the Default Business Account Class box in the Data Entry Settings section of the General tab.

You can override the default class.

Contact Section
First Name

The first name of the contact.

To determine the default name (if any) to be inserted into this box, the system proceeds as follows until it finds a name:

  1. If a contact is specified in the Contact box of the Summary area, the system copies the name from the First Name box of the Details tab (Contact section) of the Contacts (CR302000) form for the specified contact. The search is complete.
  2. The system copies the name from the First Name box of the Contact Info tab (Contact section) of the current form.

If a contact is specified in the Contact box of the Summary area of the current form for the lead, the default name in this box is read-only. If no contact is specified for this lead, you can override the first name that is inserted by default. If you do, the system inserts the new name as the first name on the Contact Info tab of the current form and uses this name when it creates the contact.

Last Name

The last name of the contact. This is a required element for the contact if no contact has been specified on the current form for the selected lead.

To determine the default last name (if any) to be inserted into this box, the system proceeds as follows until it finds a name:

  1. If a contact is specified in the Contact box of the Summary area, the system copies the name from the Last Name box of the Details tab (Contact section) of the Contacts form for the specified contact. The search is complete.
  2. The system copies the name from the Last Name box of the Contact Info tab (Contact section) of the current form.

If a contact is specified in the Contact box of the Summary area of the current form for the lead, the name in this box is read-only. If no contact is specified for this lead, you can override the default last name. If you do, the system inserts the new name as the last name on the Contact Info tab of the current form and uses this last name when it creates the contact.

Account Name

The name of the company related to the contact.

To determine the default account name to be inserted into this box, the system proceeds as follows until it finds a name:

  1. If a contact is specified in the Contact box of the Summary area, the system inserts the name copied from the Account Name box of the Details tab (Contact section) of the Contacts form for the specified contact. The search is complete. In this case, the system-inserted name in this box is read-only.
  2. The system inserts the name copied from the Account Name box of the Contact Info tab (Contact section) of the current form. If you have overridden the business account name that the system inserted in the Business Account Name box of this dialog box (Business Account section), the system copies the name that you entered from the Business Account Name box and inserts it into the Account Name box.

If no account name was specified for this lead, for the newly created contact, the account name and the business account name will be the same, the system will insert the name in the Account Name box of the Contact Info tab (Contact section) of the current form. The Account Name box of the newly created contact on the Contacts form will be read-only.

Job Title

The job title of the contact.

To determine the default job title (if any) to be inserted into this box, the system proceeds as follows until it finds a title:

  2. The system copies the title from the Job Title box of the Contact Info tab (Contact section) of the current form.

If a contact is specified in the Contact box of the Summary area of the current form for the lead, the job title in this box is read-only. If no contact is specified for this lead, you can override the job title that is inserted by default. If you do, the system inserts the new title as the job title on the Contact Info tab of the current form and uses this title when it creates the contact.

The type and the phone number in two separate boxes; you select the type (if the default option is not correct) and then enter the phone number.

You select one of the following options as the type of the phone number: Business 1, Business 2, Business 3, Cell, Assistant, Fax, Home, or Home Fax.

To determine the default type–phone number combination to be inserted for each of these Type and Phone Number elements, the system proceeds as follows until it finds a combination:

  1. If the type–phone number combination is specified for the contact in the similar element (for example, the first type and phone number) on the Contacts form, the system copies the combination from the Details tab (Contact section) of the Contacts form for the specified contact. The search is complete.
  2. The system copies the combination from the Contact Info tab (Contact section) of the current form.

You can override any default type or phone number (or both settings) if no contact is specified in the Contact box of the Summary area of the current form (if a contact is specified, the type and phone number are read-only). If you override the type or phone number, the system inserts each applicable new value in the respective type–phone number combination on the Contact Info tab of the current form and uses this value when it creates the contact.

  2. The system copies the email address from the Email box of the Contact Info tab (Contact section) of the current form.

If a contact is specified in the Contact box of the Summary area of the current form for the lead, the email address in this box is read-only. If no contact is specified for this lead, you can override the email address that is inserted by default. If you do, the system inserts the new email address on the Contact Info tab of the current form and uses this address when it creates the contact.

These settings may include the following: the default owner, the default assignment map, and the elements to be displayed on the Attributes and User-Defined Fields tabs of the Contacts form and this dialog box.

You can change this class only if no contact has been specified for the lead in the Summary area of the current form.

To determine the default class (if any) to be inserted into this box, the system proceeds as follows until it finds a class:

  1. If a contact is specified in the Summary area, the system copies the class from the Contact Class box of the CRM Info tab (CRM Info section) of the Contacts form for the specified contact. The search is complete.
  2. The system copies the class (if any) from the Contact Class ID box of the Details tab (Conversion Settings section) of the Lead Classes form for the lead class of this lead. The search is complete.

Also, if no contact was selected in the Summary area of the current form (meaning that a contact will be created for the selected lead when the business account is created) and a contact class has been selected on the Main tab of this dialog box, the Contact table is populated with the attributes that have been defined for the selected contact class on the Contact Classes (CR205000) form and defined as required; you specify values for the attributes.

If a contact is specified in the Contact box of the Summary area and a type–phone number combination is specified for the contact in the similar element (for example, the first type and phone number) on the Contacts form, the system copies the type and phone number from the Details tab (Contact section) of the Contacts form for the specified contact. The search is complete.
  2. The system copies the combination from the Contact Info tab (Contact section) of the current form.

You can override any default type or phone number (or both) if no contact is specified in the Contact box of the Summary area of the current form for the lead. (If the contact is specified, the Type and Phone Number elements are read-only.) If you override any value, the system inserts each applicable new value in the respective type–phone number combination on the current form and uses this updated combination when it creates the contact.

Email

The email address of the contact.

To determine the default value (if any) to be inserted into this box, the system proceeds as follows until it finds an email address:

  1. If a contact is specified in the Summary area of the current form, the system copies the address from the Email box of the Details tab (Contact section) of the Contacts form for the specified contact. The search is complete.
  2. The system copies the address from the Email box of the Contact Info tab (Contact section) of the current form.

If a contact is specified in the Contact box of the Summary area of the current form for the lead, the default email address in this box is read-only. If no contact is specified for the lead, you can override the default email address. If you do, the system will insert the new email address on the current form and uses this address when it creates the contact.

Contact Class

The contact class of the contact associated with this lead and the business account you are creating. A contact class, which is defined on the Contact Classes (CR205000) form, determines the settings to be used for contacts of the class, and additional elements to be displayed on the Attributes tab of the Contacts form and this dialog box. (Note that only attributes defined as required for the class are shown in the dialog box, while all attributes of the class are shown on the Contacts form.)

You can change this class only if no contact has been specified for the lead in the Summary area of the current form.

To determine the default class (if any) to be inserted into this box, the system proceeds as follows until it finds a class:

  1. If a contact is specified in the Summary area, the system copies the class from the Contact Class box of the CRM Info tab (CRM section) of the Contacts form for the specified contact. The search is complete.
  2. The system copies the class (if any) from the Contact Class ID box of the Details tab (Conversion Settings section) of the Lead Classes form for the lead class of this lead. The search is complete.
  3. The system copies the class (if any) from the Default Contact Class box of the General tab (the Data Entry Settings section) of the Customer Management Preferences form.
Table 6. Create Opportunity Dialog Box: Attributes TabOn this tab of the dialog box, you specify the attributes of the opportunity you are creating and associating with the lead.

Summary Area

This area contains the summary settings of the lead, such as its status, description, and owner. In the Lead ID box, you can select an existing lead to view and edit its settings.

Element Description
Lead ID

The display name of the lead. If you are entering a new lead, leave this box blank; the system inserts the ID when you save the lead. To view a particular lead that exists in the system, you can select its identifier in this box.

The system-generated identifier is composed by using the contact name on the Contact Info tab of the current form (Contact section) if the first or last name has been specified or both names have been specified; otherwise, the ID is the company name in the same section of the form. If you change these names, the system changes the lead ID.

The way a contact name is displayed is determined by the setting in the Display Name Order box (General Defaults section) of the Site Preferences (SM200505) form.

Status

The status of the lead. The system updates the status automatically, depending on where the lead is in the lead qualification workflow, and in some cases, you can update the status as well.

The lead can be assigned one of the following statuses:

  • New: The lead has been created, but no work has been done on it yet.
  • Open: The lead is being worked on by the marketing team or lead qualification personnel.
  • Sales-Ready: The lead has been qualified by the marketing team or lead qualification personnel as showing more interest in the organization's products or services than other leads show.
  • Sales-Accepted: The lead has been initially reviewed and accepted by the lead qualification team, and the sales team will perform further qualification.
  • Converted: The lead has been qualified and converted to an opportunity. If the lead has this status, most of the UI elements on the form are read-only.
  • Suspended: This obsolete status is no longer used in the lead qualification workflow, and it cannot be selected. If a previously created lead has the Suspended status, you can change this status to any status that is available in the lead qualification workflow during lead processing.
  • Disqualified: The lead has shown no interest in the organization's products or services or is not reachable (for example, the contact information is not valid). Some organizations may also use this status for duplicate leads.

For details, see Qualifying Leads (Marketing) and Qualifying Leads (Sales).

Reason

The reason for the status of this lead. The option is inserted by the system automatically or selected by an employee, depending on the step of the lead qualification workflow.

The reason (and its corresponding status or statuses) can be one of the following:

  • Created: The lead has been created but has not yet been processed. A lead with this reason has the New status.
  • Potential Interest: The lead has a potential interest in a product or service. A lead with this reason has the Open status.
  • Subscribed: The lead has subscribed to a newsletter or event. A lead with this reason has the Open status.
  • Inquiry: The lead has made an inquiry about a product or service. A lead with this reason has the Open status.

  • Accepted by Sales: The lead has been reviewed and accepted by the sales or lead qualification team. A lead with this reason has the Sales-Accepted status.
  • Qualified by Sales: The lead has been qualified by the sales team. A lead with this reason has the Sales-Accepted or Converted status.
  • No Interest: The lead has no interest in the organization's products or services. A lead with this reason has the Disqualified status.
  • Unable to Contact: It is not possible to contact the lead. For example, the phone number or email address is invalid, or the lead does not answer the phone. A lead with this reason has the Disqualified status.
  • Duplicate: The lead is a duplicate of another lead in the system. A lead with this reason has the Disqualified status.
  • Other: The lead cannot be qualified for a reason that is not included in this list. A lead with this reason has the Disqualified status.
Description

An alphanumeric string of up to 255 characters that describes the lead. You can use this box to add any additional information you want to record about the lead.

Contact

The contact that the lead is associated with. The contact can be specified manually or automatically filled in by the system.

By clicking the Edit button right of the box, you can open the related contact on the Contacts (CR302000) form.

If you select a contact in this box, the Associate the Contact with the Lead dialog box opens. In this dialog box, you can associate the contact with the lead. If any contact settings for the contact and lead are different, you can direct the system to use either the lead's value or the contact's value for both entities.

If this box is empty and you select a business account in the Business Account box, the Associate Entities wizard opens. Depending on the selections you make in this wizard, you can cause a new or existing contact to be selected with the lead (and thus selected in the Contact box), associate the selected lead with only the business account, or with the business account and a new or existing contact.

Business Account

The business account that the lead is associated with. The business account can be specified manually or automatically filled in by the system.

By clicking the Edit button right of the box, you can open the related business account on the Business Accounts (CR303000) form in a pop-up window. If no business account has been selected, you can create the associated business account on the fly.

If the Contact box is empty and you select a business account in this box, the Associate Entities wizard opens. You can use this wizard to associate the lead with only the business account or with the business account and a new or existing contact.

The system does not insert the business account into the box (and thus associate the business account with the lead) until you have proceeded through the pages of the wizard.

Owner

The owner of the lead. If a workgroup has been specified on the CRM Info tab of this form, you can select the owner from only its members; if no workgroup is specified, you can select any user.

Based on the lead class of this lead (which is also specified on the CRM Info tab of the current form), the system fills in the default setting as follows, based on the option selected in the Default Owner box (in the Data Entry Settings section of the Details tab) of the Lead Classes (CR207000) form for the lead class:

  • If the Creator option is selected for the lead class, the system fills in the user name of the user who created the current lead.
  • If the Source Entity option is selected for the lead class and this lead has been created from another entity (such as a contact), the system copies the owner and workgroup (if specified) from the source entity.
  • If the Assignment Map option is selected for the lead class, the system fills in the owner based on the assignment map of the lead class. This assignment map is specified in the Data Entry Settings section of the Details tab of the Lead Classes form.
  • If the default Do Not Change option is selected for the lead class, the system does not change the original value in the Owner box (if it was filled) and does not insert an owner (if the box is empty) if a user changes the lead class.

You can select an owner among employees.
