Can you have required fields before converting a lead

MONIQUE MILLSON

How do you set up required fields when Converting a lead to an opportunity.

Our sales team will need to have a few fields required before they can convert it to an opportunity.

However, we do not want these fields to be required in the Leads module when creating a lead - only when converting a lead.

Thanks

    Hello Monique,


    Could you specify the use case?
    In regards to generic Converting procedure - it is just creation of the Contacts and Opps in Sugar.
    Leads data is a source in this procedure and does not imply changes, while Contact and Opportunities fields should be populated within converting.

    Probably you are referencing to so-called Lead qualification procedure which means that at some particular stage of the lifecycle there is a need to check whether Lead data collected is sufficient for the further Lead processing 
    Hence no need to make fields required on the Lead data entering the stage either.
    Instead, I'd suggest configuring logic to check wither Lead data entered makes the Lead eligible for further converting and represent the result of qualification in the form of either custom Lead checkbox or a Lead status of "Qualified"
    Therefore, sales to initiate out-of-the-box converting procedure for the Leads with "Qualified" status
    If you have qualification criteria in written, drop me a line to dmytro.chupylka@integroscrm.com and let's find out how to configure it in Sugar


    All the best, 

    Dmytro
