    • Select an existing Client, or

    • Create a new Client.

From Client Profile:

  2. Tap Options.

  3. Select Add Lead.

Step-by-Step: Creating a Lead

Step 1: Select the Client

  • If you open the form from the Create Menu, choose an existing Client or create a new Client.

  • If you open the form from a Client Profile, the Client is already selected.

Note: Each Lead must be assigned to a Client.

Step 2: Fill Out the Lead Details

After selecting or creating a Client, complete the Lead form with the following information:

Referred By (Lead Source)

  • Select how the Lead was referred to you.

  • The list is based on the References set up in Company Management.

Project Tax

  • Select the applicable tax for the project.

The Auto Tax feature automatically applies the correct tax rate based on the address and can be enabled for U.S. companies and adding/editing/removing Tax rates is configured in the Prices Management section of Company Management. The selected Client Tax will be selected for each new Lead as default. However, for each individual case, the system allows selecting a different tax system if needed. 


Address

  • The Address field is visible and pre-filled with the Client’s current address.

  • Tap the field to select from:

    • The Client’s main address

    • Addresses used in previous Leads, Estimates, Work Orders, or Invoices

Note: If a saved address has a Project Address Name, the name will appear next to the address in the dropdown, making it easy to identify specific project locations.
  • Start typing to see matching Client addresses and Google address suggestions.

  • You may also enter a new address manually.

Lead Contact

  • Select the contact person for this Lead.

  • If the contact person is different from the Client, you can add another contact from the Client Profile.
