This example shows how to select columns and then use the drag-and-drop feature for organizing your view:

D. Sorting and Filtering Leads

The filtering and sorting engine allows you to customize your lead data so that you can view and update lead information more efficiently.

Column Sorting Features

  • Click once to sort ascending (↑)
  • Click again to sort descending (↓)
  • Click again and no sort order will be applied

To use sorting on more than 1 column at a time:
Mac - hold down the command (⌘) key when clicking on your second column header.
Windows - hold down the (ctrl+alt) keys when clicking on your second column header.

A numerical indicator will appear next to the ↑/↓ symbols to denote if the column is a primary sort, secondary sort, and so on.

Column Sorting Example

  1. In this example we have performed a mouse-over of the “Last Name” column. Notice how the field has become darker in color and delineated as a rectangle. A hamburger menu also appears on the right with a popup of the field name (Last Name)

2. If we click the column name (Last Name) an ascending sort is applied to the view. Notice the following:
   a. An up arrow ▲ appears next to the column label (Last Name)
   b. The records are now sorted in ascending order by last name

3. If we click the column name (Last Name) again a descending sort is applied to the view. Notice the following:
   a. A down arrow ▼ appears next to the column label (Last Name)
   b. The records are now sorted in descending order by last name

Note: By clicking the field a third time the sort function is removed.

Column Filtering Features

  • Select and deselect values
  • Use type-ahead search to find specific values
  • Easily filter on any column, regardless of data type, including dates and numbers
  • Quickly remove filters, simply deselect all, then select all

This example shows filtering leads based on these titles (CEO, CFO, Product Manager) and then downloading the CSV based on the filtered column view:

Tip:  Column headers appear in blue if a filter is applied

E. Editing Lead Data (Leads Page)

Editing leads is a simple process when using the available tools.

  • Double click, edit/update the text, and click enter to save
  • Alternatively, select a cell, then use arrow keys to navigate; once focused on a cell, start typing an edit, and then hit enter and the edit will save successfully 

Here is an example of editing lead data:

Editing Lead Data (Bulk Edit mode)

Bulk edit mode is another feature that can be used for making a unique change to multiple records. You can first sort records according to the criteria that you want to update. Then make a single change that bulk updates all selected records. Here is a help article explaining the details: How Do I Bulk Edit Lead Interactions?

F. Viewing/Editing Topics & Follow-Ups (Leads Page)
