The Leads feature in MyCase allows you to easily add and track your leads. Leads look similar to Contacts, in that you can add their personal information and later choose if they should be made a Contact or not. You can also track information on the potential case by adding a lead to the system. When converted, a new case and contact will be added into your account with the corresponding information.

To add a Lead, simply click the Leads tab on the top right of your screen.

Then click Add Lead to create a new lead.

The lead information screen allows you to fill in pertinent information like the lead's name, email address, and where the lead generated from. This screen also allows you to fill in pertinent information for the lead's potential case.
​

Referral sources can be added, edited and deleted for any of your leads. This can be done by clicking the gear symbol on the top right of any screen within the Leads tab and clicking 'Lead Settings'.

While making changes to your Referral Sources, you are required to keep at least one lead source 'Other' but can otherwise change them to whatever you need.
​

If you previously assigned a lead to a Referral Source, and then you change the name of the Referral Source, all leads that are currently assigned to that Referral Source option will receive the new name. If you delete a Referral Source, all leads assigned to that same Referral Source will go back to a blank state.

When you select the name of Lead you will be brought to the Potential Case Details page. This is where you can enter specific information based on the your new potential case including: name, status, practice area, value, assigned to, and case description. You also have the ability to enter case notes, apply intake forms, create tasks and uploading documents on this potential case to track important updates on your lead. Information within Potential Case Details will map to the case upon conversion.
