Once your firm retains a client you can convert the Lead to a Matter.



Table of Contents

Converting the lead

1.    Select Convert to Matter above Lead Details.
 

2.    After selecting Convert to Matter, triConvey displays a window to choose the Matter Type.

Tip:  Current Lead Type and Matter Type converting to fields will be displayed at the bottom of the window for reference. 


Only matter types available to the firm can appear on the list.  triConvey auto-selects the matter type if the lead has the same name in the same category.



Confirming lead conversion

After selecting Convert, triConvey will prompt you to confirm the conversion as it is not reversible.

If the Lead Type and Matter Type are 100% compatible, you can continue to complete the matter details. 


There may be fields in the lead that cannot convert to the chosen matter type. triConvey removes the incompatible data from the matter.


Make a note of the data before conversion for placing in the converted matter. Memos or contact cards can hold data in the new matter.


After converting the lead

Once converted, the heading colour changes from dark green to dark blue and the icon changes from (L) to (M).


If you've enabled automatic matter numbering, triConvey assigns a Matter Number/Internal Reference.


Now that the lead is a matter, make sure to update every line of information.  This ensures better automation of the matter.
