Dependent Lead Fields

1. Feature Overview

In some instances, there’ll be a dependency between two lead fields (e.g., the Campus field is dependent on the Department field for an account created for colleges) . Here, you can create a dependency between these lead fields by selecting one as the parent field (Campus) and the other (one or more) as the child field (Department).

You can also create multi-level dependencies by assigning multiple child fields to a parent field. For example, you can add both Department and Courses Offered as the fields dependent on the Campus field. When a user enters a value for Campus, only the Department and Courses Offered in that particular Campus will be shown.

Note:

  • When adding Dependent dropdown fields, you can add up to 1,000 parent options, and up to 5,000 child options (across all the parent fields).
  • To create multi-level dependencies, select the child field of the original dependent pair as the parent field of the new pair.
  • Dependencies can only be created for Dropdown and Dropdown with Others type lead fields. It cannot be created for Searchable Dropdown.

  • If a lead field has the Lock After Create setting enabled, you cannot use it as a child field.
  • If the Use in Lead Clone setting is enabled for the child field, it must be enabled for the parent field as well.
  • The values given to the child field in the Dependent Lead Fields page overrides the default values given to it in the Lead Fields page. If the dependency is removed, the lead fields restore their default values.

Activity Details Page (Add Activities/Tasks on Activities)

1. Feature Overview

In addition to adding activities and tasks on leads, you can now add them directly to activities (activities on activities, tasks on activities). The Activity Details Page enables you to view and add activities, notes and tasks on existing activities.
This is beneficial for a variety of use cases.

Let us take an example of a service ticket.

  • Consider you have a ‘Service Ticket’ activity.
  • On the service ticket, you can set up another activity to assign the ticket to the relevant team.
  • You can set up a task on the service ticket for the actions to be taken up by the team in resolving the ticket.
  • On the service ticket, you can also set up an activity for when there are escalations on the ticket, and who should receive the escalation.
  • You can set up a completion task on the service ticket.

This means that instead of tracking activities against the lead, you can directly track activities and tasks against the service ticket.

  • You must be an administrator user in your LeadSquared account.
  • To enable this feature, contact your account manager, or write to support@leadsquared.com.

Export Lists

1. Feature Overview

LeadSquared lets you export lead data by exporting the list that contains those leads. This is useful when you need offline access to data or want to share lead information with external systems or teams.

For example, if you want to export details of all leads located in Mumbai, you can first add them to a list and then export that list. During export, you can choose to:

  • Export all lead fields, or
  • Export only specific fields such as Lead Stage, Lead Score, Owner, and more.

Once the export is complete, the data is sent to your registered email address as a CSV file. To learn more about creating and managing lists, see List Management – Feature Guide.

 

2. Export Lists

  1. Navigate to Manage Lists and click the name of the relevant list.
  2. On the right side of the screen, above the list of leads, hover your cursor over Actions icon.
  3. Select Export Leads.
  4. On the Export Leads pop-up, choose whether you want to Export all fields or Export selected fields.
    • If you’ve  selected Export all fields, all the lead fields across all pages will be exported into the CSV file.
    • If you’ve selected Export selected fields, only the lead fields you select will be exported into the CSV file –
      1. To select a lead field, click the checkbox alongside it.
      2. Reorder the selected fields as required, by dragging and dropping.
  5. Click Export when you’re done.

My Teams – Feature Guide

1. Feature Overview

The My Teams feature on the LeadSquared Mobile App gives Sales Group Managers or Reporting Managers real-time, actionable insights into their team’s performance and daily activities. As a manager, you will be able to view your team’s check-in/check-out status, distance travelled and quickly connect with them via call, SMS or WhatsApp. Additionally, you can view the leads added, opportunities created, tasks completed and other activities performed by the users.

Benefits

  • Real-Time Team Tracking: Managers can view check-in/check-out status and track distance travelled for better field oversight.
  • Seamless Communication: Managers can quickly connect with team members from the app.
  • Performance Monitoring & Accountability: Key metrics help track productivity and ensure accountability.

Note:

  • This feature is aligned with the Reporting To or Sales Group hierarchy and is not connected to the Teams feature in LeadSquared.
  • On LeadSquared, you can either use Reporting Manager or Sales Group Hierarchy features, not both. By default, LeadSquared accounts come with the Sales Group feature enabled. If you wish to change this to the Reporting Manager feature, please reach out to us at support@leadsquared.com.
  • My Team is not visible to admins, sales managers and sales users who are not group managers.
  • The reporting manager can view only the data of their direct reportees. For instance, if User A reports to User B, and User B reports to User C, then User C cannot see User A’s data.

How to Rename the Lead Entity to Reflect Your Business Terminology

1. Feature Overview

A ‘lead’ in LeadSquared refers to both an individual (a person, a contact, etc.) and an enquiry (What are the services the lead is looking for? Through which marketing channel did the lead find us?). The ‘leads’ terminology works best for businesses whose objective is to acquire customers for a single product or service. But there are a few scenarios, for certain businesses when the usage of ‘leads’ doesn’t entirely hold true. These scenarios are for –

  • A business where the lead enquires for multiple products. An example is a bank, where the same person might enquire for a savings account, a credit card and a vehicle loan. In such cases, you would have to distinguish the customer from the enquiry. Here, you can rename the ‘lead’ to ‘Contact’ or ‘Applicant’ or anything that suits the business, and use ‘Opportunities’ to model each enquiry.
  • A business where salespersons deal with leads that are referred to by a specific noun. Examples of this are –
    • An education platform, where ‘leads’ can be renamed to ‘Students’.
    • A healthcare service, ‘leads’ can be renamed to ‘Patients’.

In the above-mentioned scenarios, the ‘lead’ display name can be changed to better reflect the nature of the business. This change will get displayed across the LeadSquared platform – on the main menu, the Manage Leads page and the Lead Details page. Leads

Exclusions:

  • Lead and Contact/Person will continue to remain synonymous in LeadSquared.
  • The name change will not change or affect the display name on the Settings page. This will continue to remain as Leads.
  • The name change will also not change or affect the display name in APIs and Reports. This will continue to remain as Leads.

 

2. Prerequisites

You must be the Admin of your LeadSquared account.

 

3. Process

You can change or edit the display name of your Leads on the Lead Settings page.

  1. From the main menu, navigate to Profile>Settings>Leads>Lead Settings>Rename Leads.
  2. On the Rename Lead tab, under Actions, click the Edit icon.
  3. On the Rename Lead pop-up, change the Display Name and Plural Name, and click Save.
  4. On the Confirmation pop-up, click the Confirm button.
  5. You will receive a confirmation notification at the top of the page once the name change has been accepted by the system.

Leads

Notes:

  • It will take up to one hour for the name change to reflect in your account.
  • If you want to revert back to the default name, you can edit it on the Lead Settings page. Click the Edit icon to change the name.

 

4. View Changes

The change in name will reflect across the main menu.

And also the Manage Leads page, and the Lead Details page.

Important: This feature was deprecated, and is no longer available on LeadSquared after 31st August, 2023. However, this does NOT impact the Marketing Tags feature, which will continue to be available.

1. Feature Overview

Tagging is a quick way to add a label to a lead, for easy identification of leads. The Lead Tagging feature enables users to associate leads with relevant tags (e.g., the lead’s city – Bengaluru, Chennai, the lead’s profession – Doctor, Accountant, etc.). These tags can be created using words or phrases. The intent of tagging is to describe certain attributes that are not captured in lead fields or activities.

Note: To know how to add tags to your leads, refer to Tag Your Leads.

 

2. Prerequisite

You must be the Administrator of your LeadSquared account.

 

3. Create a Lead Tag

LeadSquared - Edit Lead tags

 

5. Permission to Add New Tags

By default, all the users in your account can add existing tags to your leads. In addition to this, you can also permit users to add new tags to leads directly from the Lead Details page.

LeadSquared - Tag permissions

For example, if you have existing tags “Bangalore”, “Chennai” and “New Delhi” in your account, and you want to add the tag “Hyderabad”, you can enter this term in the search box, and hit ENTER. This new tag is added to your lead, and a new tag is automatically created in your account.

Lead Tags

 

6. Alternatives to Lead Tags

We recommend the following alternatives to address the exact same use cases for tagging your leads –

  1. Create a custom lead field 
    Set the data type of the field to multi-select dropdown and create the lead tags as options. For more details, see How to Create Custom Lead Fields.
  2. Create a Custom Activity Field
    Add a multi-select dropdown field to an activity type of your choice and use it to tag your leads. For more details see How to Add Custom Activity Types.
  3. Use the lead notes feature to add tags
    Add relevant tags as notes to your leads from the lead details page.

LeadSquared Lead Management Notes Feature

You can then use advanced search to help you filter leads and create lists according to your tags.
