Getting Started

Tracking leads with the module

One of the first questions you need to ask when using this module is which data do you want to store of your form. Decide which form fields you want to assoicate with a lead entry. For example, for a simple contact form you might want to store the name, email address and comment field.

After you have determined the necessary data for your lead. You need to add these fields to the list of lead fields by clicking on the "Fields" button in the toolbar.
