List
A List is a helpful feature that allows you to group your leads into a collection, making it particularly useful when dealing with a large number of leads during uploads.
Creating a list
There are two ways to create a list;
through the leads screen
or while uploading through dataloader
through the leads screen
Click the ‘Lead’ button on the side menu bar, navigate to Lists and click on 'Add list'.
Indicate the name you would like to assign to the list in the description column.
Click on 'Save'.
Through dataloader
When uploading the .csv file using dataloader, you will receive a prompt after the upload to specify whether you want to assign the file to an existing list or create a new list.
If you choose to create a new list, simply enter the desired name in the 'create a new list' column.
Click on 'Confirm' and once the upload process is complete, the list will be reflected in the list section.
Managing the list
Navigate to the list located on the Leads screen and choose the specific list you wish to view.
The subsequent page will present all the leads included in that selected list.
Feel free to work on any lead you select.
Deleting a list
To delete a list, follow these steps:
Select the list
Locate the delete button positioned at the far right of the page's top section.
Click on the delete button to remove the desired list.
Dataloader
If you have a lot of leads to input, then you may benefit from using the Dataloader functionality.

Anyone can access the Dataloader but only an administrator can grant access, to do this the administrator must navigate to;
Settings > Users > Select user > Dataloader Access section, the lead Dataloader Type can be selected, and then added to the user profile by selecting “Add Dataloader Type”:
Uploading Data
Before uploading a data, you would need to ensure that the .csv file you are uploading is in the same format with the template attached below.
