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 |

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 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 |

Relations Tab
You can use this tab to indicate the one-way and two-way relations between the selected lead and the records that are associated with it; the type of each relation is determined by the relational role selected in the Role column for the listed record.
One-way relations are shown only on the Relations tab of the form where the relation was initially added to the selected record. Bidirectional relations are shown on this tab of the forms of both the record where the relation was initially added and the associated record. For details, see Managing Relations.
If the Row-Level Security feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, you may not have access to a particular record on this tab. For records that have business accounts specified in their settings, this may occur if access to the business account that is related to the record is restricted for your current user account. This may also occur if your user account does not have access to the particular record due to other security rules that have been established in the system.
