Lead Fields are the pieces of information you gather from your Lead Sources, whether this be from a website, a paid Lead Source or importing Leads from a file such as Excel. When creating Lead Fields make a note to include all possible Lead Fields; this is key to ensuring the Leads can be received properly.

To create Lead Fields

Once created, the new Record Type will now be available to add Lead Fields. 

Select the Edit button to start adding fields

Click Add Field

A modal will display in order to create the Lead Field you can specify the following:

  • Fill in Name and Description; take note Description will be the displayed name created which is visible to your users.

  • Required - Marks the lead field as required. When posting or adding new leads to ClickPoint, fields marked Required must have a value. If not, the lead is rejected. 

  • Encrypted - Fields marked with this will store the data encrypted within ClickPoint. This is useful for personal information like date of births. Once a field is marked either Yes or  No for encrypted, it can't be changed. 

  • Show in Script Edit - Enable this button to allow the field to be used when building your call scripts.
