If the lead or opportunity originates from a PeopleSoft Marketing campaign, the system populates the Lead Source field and displays information that is relevant—including the marketing business unit, campaign name, and wave name—to the campaign here. If the lead or opportunity does not originate from a campaign, these fields are blank. If a sales user creates the lead, the system enters the lead source of Sales.
You can override these values. If you enter a marketing business unit, campaign name, or wave name, you must also enter the other two items.
Note: If PeopleSoft FieldService and PeopleSoft Customer Relationship Management for High Technology are integrated with the system, the system generates sales leads for agreements that are expired (or about to expire) according to the user-defined time period. The system creates a sales lead with the source of Agreement for every agreement that is eligible for the process.
See Generating Sales Leads for Agreement Renewal.
Field or Control |
Definition |
---|---|

Campaign Name |
Enter the campaign from which the lead or opportunity originated. When you specify a business unit, the system populates this field with the campaigns from that business unit. |

Marketing Activity Summary |
Click to access the Marketing Activity Summary page, where you can view a summary of the marketing campaign that generated the lead. |
Lead Type |
Select a type to indicate the nature of the lead. Possible values are Inquiry, Lead, Qualified, Turnback Qualified, and Turnback. These lead types are translate values that are delivered with the system. Except for Qualified, which is required to transfer leads from other PeopleSoft products, you can modify these or define additional values. |
Lead Source |
Select the source from which the lead originated. Possible values include Sales, Marketing Campaign, and Online Marketing. If a sales user creates the lead, the source is Sales. Lead sources are predefined in the system. You can modify the descriptions on the Lead Source setup page. You can define additional values also, but do not delete the predefined ones. They are required for transferring leads between integrated system applications. Note: When you clone a lead, the system sets the lead source to Sales for the new lead. However, the new lead continues to be tracked with the campaign and wave of the original lead. |
Accepted Date |
Enter the date when the sales representative accepted the lead. When you change the lead status to Accepted on any page, the system changes the status here and sets the accepted date to the system's current date. |
Referred Date |
Enter the date when you received the prospect information (for example, from a trade show). When you change the lead status to Referred on any page, the system changes the status here and sets the referred date to the system's current date. |
