Creating a Lead in the system
Enter a Company or Person as the parent.
You might want to check if the company (or person) does not exist already in the system before you create a lead by doing a search
Saving the company (or person) will give a search code (unless you defined one) and a card number
Once the company or person details have been added then they will populate to the lead form
