Processing Scan Item Records

Creating a Lead

1. Review the Details: Check the OCR results and make any necessary updates to the scan item record.

2. Process as a Lead: Once processed, a new Lead record is created with the information from the scan item.

3. Mark as Processed: The Processed checkbox on the scan item is checked.

Important Details:

• After processing, a scan item cannot be processed again unless the Processed checkbox is unchecked.

• The Scanning Queue follows your organization’s duplicate rules to maintain data integrity.

• By default, only standard scan item fields are mapped to the Lead object.

• If custom fields are added to the Scan Item object, corresponding fields must exist on the Lead object and be mapped using Scan Lead Mapping.

• Fields that are not mapped will not transfer to the Lead record.
