Searching Leads

Date Range:  

To change the date, use the drop down box to select from a set of predefined dates (All time,Today,Yesterday, This week, Last week, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, This month, Last month, Last 3 months, Last 6 months, This year, Last Year, All Time.), or select 'custom date range' to enter a date.

By default, the date range relates to the date/time that the lead was received. Clicking the 'Options' button and then selecting the option 'Search using referral date' changes this to the date/time that the lead was referred to a referral partner. If this option is selected, only leads that have been referred will appear. Leads in the partner portal are always ordered by the date/time referred.

Keyword Searches:  

Search using a keyword using the search box at the top left corner. As long as the user has permission to view leads, the keyword allows you to search for a lead using (Lead ID, First or Last Name, Company, Telephone Number(s), Address Line 1, Post Code. It also uses a wild card search meaning that you can search partials (except for the telephone numbers and Lead ID)

Words of less than 2 characters are ignored, as are none alphanumeric characters, except for the @ sign which is of course part of email addresses, and the apostrophe ( ' ), which is sometimes used in names.

Partial matches are returned, but only as long as the first part of the word is provided. For example, a search on smi will match smith and smithson but won't match jasmine. The search engine automatically recognises searches for full phone numbers, emails and postcodes, and tries to return results for exact matches rather than partial matches.

2 character words or a set of digits will not provide partial matches. i.e. a search on jo will return a match on the name jo but not joseph.  Searches on the digits 01 will match an address containing those exact digits, such as 01 High Street, but will not partial match a phone umber - When searching for phone numbers, it's best to enter the full phone number including area code.

Wild Card Search Examples

Name (First & Last) - Leading and Ending - if you search Smith, it will return all leads that have Smith in the first or last name fields.

Company - Leading and Ending - Leading and Ending - if you search Insurance, it will return all leads that have Insurance in the company name, such as Car Insurance, Insurance Quotes and My Insurance Company.

Post Code - Ending - If you search BB12, it will return all the leads with a post code that start with BB12 but if you searched B12, then you would only receive results starting B12 and post codes starting BB12 would not be included.

Group & Type:  

The Group & Type filter allows you to search leads within a Lead Group but also the Lead Type within that group, if needed.
