Yes! Making Leads private preserves the integrity of a business’s sales process by eliminating the opportunity for sales representatives to take over the Leads of others. Nextiva CRM provides the capability of making Leads private so no one but the owner of a Lead can view, edit, or delete it.
To make Leads private, Administrators must create a role with Owner Only permissions in Nextiva CRM and apply it to Users. The role details the permissions for Users assigned to it. A role with Owner Only permissions allows only the owner to perform specific actions on a record type.
For Users who are not listed as the owner of the Lead, the Lead will not:
- Appear in searches
- Appear in table views (i.e. the list of Leads)
- Be listed as a related record (i.e. the Lead won’t appear to be associated with a Contact)
- Be accessible via a direct link
