Leads Tab of the Activities Dialog Box

Use the Leads tab to associate multiple leads with an activity. When you schedule an activity, you can enter one lead name in the Primary Lead field on the Detail tab of the Activities dialog box.

The Leads tab allows you to associate additional leads with the activity. This is useful when you have more than one lead at a client firm who must be included in the activity.

The term “lead” is used in Vision to represent prospect contacts or unqualified contacts that may lead to future business. Your firm may use a different term to describe these people and companies. If so, you may want to rename the term (label) “lead” to your Vision-specific term throughout Vision.

This tab does not display when you create Project Planning tasks or activities in the Resource Planning application.
