Reassign Owner

Indicates that the lead should be reassigned. If your company administrator has set up lead assignment rules, selecting this field triggers the assignment manager in Oracle CRM On Demand to process the lead again and assign it according to the rules. The assignment manager can reassign records only to users. It can reassign records only if the record type is configured in the user mode or mixed mode of record ownership. The assignment manager cannot reassign records if the record type is configured in book mode. For more information about record ownership modes, see About Data Access, Record Sharing, and Record Ownership.

NOTE: The processing time for reassigning records can vary depending on the complexity of your company's assignment rules, the number of records to be reassigned, and current system load. The name of the lead owner changes when the record is reassigned.

Sales Person

The name of the sales person your company assigns to this lead.

Depending on how you associate an account with a lead, the Sales Person field on the lead might be updated automatically, as follows:

• If you explicitly associate an account with a lead by selecting an account in the Associated Account field on the lead record, and if the account has an owner assigned to it, then the Sales Person field on the lead is automatically populated with the name of the owner of the account that you select, provided that the Auto-Update Sales Person Field When Associating Account on Lead Record setting is selected on the company profile. If that setting is deselected, then the Sales Person field on the lead is not automatically populated.
• If you create a lead as a related record for an account, then the Associated Account field on the lead record is populated with the name of the account, but the Sales Person field on the lead record is not automatically populated, even if the Auto-Update Sales Person Field When Associating Account on Lead Record setting is selected on the company profile.
