Many fabricators are interested in knowing how many Leads convert to Jobs. The only way to track which of your Jobs started out as Leads is to add an Activity Type to the Lead Template.
Then, filter your new Jobs based on that Activity. Only Jobs with that Activity started out as Leads.
This article will show you how to create that Activity Type and set it to "Complete" by default, so no further action is needed for that Activity. Then we'll add it to your Lead Template, so it's automatically included every time a Lead is created.
You will need to have Leads enabled.
