  • Right-click directly on the lead row to ensure the menu opens for the correct lead.

  • Use Open in New tab when you need to work a lead without losing your place in the list.

Troubleshooting

Issue

What to check

The right-click menu does not appear

Confirm you are right-clicking on a lead row, not on the header or empty space.

An option is grayed out or missing

Your permissions or the lead's status may restrict that action. Contact your administrator.

The Actions submenu is empty

Confirm the lead's status allows actions. Different statuses may show different actions.
