Leads are your business opportunities. They are the contact information of people or organizations that have expressed an interest in your company’s product offering. Your organization can then use further marketing and promotional tools to convert those potential customers into paying customers.

• (4) Toggle between list view and kanban board view.
• (5) The admin user can select to either view only the leads that they are assigned to or to view all leads

kanban View

The dashboard allows you to view leads as a list or as cards on a kanban board. You can easily change between these two viewing modes at any time. The dashboard also remembers your viewing preferences, so you do not need to keep changing every time.

The kanban view has the following features:

1. (1)Kanban Board
• The kanban board is a workspace that denotes a lead’s progress. As you make progress on a lead, you can drag it from one board to another. Finally, the leads will end up on the completed board.
2. (2)Lead Cards
• Each lead is represented by a card. The face of this card has some basic/summary information about the card. To work on the lead, simply click the card and you will get a full view of the card/lead.
3. (3)Add New lead Button.
4. (4)Quick editing button.
5. (5)You can change the position of a lead by simply dragging it up or down.
6. (6)As work progresses on the lead, you can move it from one board to the next, by simply dragging and dropping it.

From the table list view, you are able to do the following:

• (1)Create a new lead.
