To select the Status, click on the name of the Status (not the Category) –

Show Rejected – This will display in number value; the amount of leads provided by a lead source in which those leads were rejected due to duplicate leads, improperly formatted leads, or leads that did not match your criteria. Formula: # of Received Leads vs. # of Accepted Leads = # of Rejected Leads.
Show Cost – This will display in dollar value; the amount of accepted leads from the lead source, in value of cost. Formula: $ of Accepted Leads vs. $ of Received Leads = $ of lead Cost
Show Returned – This will display in number value; the amount of leads that were returned due to leads with missing information, incorrect information, or duplicate leads.
Show Returned Credit – This will display in dollar value; the amount of leads accepted by a lead source in which those leads were Returned due to missing information, incorrect information, or duplicate leads.
Show Net Cost – This will display a dollar value; Net Cost are leads that were Accepted, minus (Returned) Lead Credits; which gives the value of Returned Credit.
Show Status Changes – This will display a number value; the amount of leads that changed Status by marking Actions and moving the lead through the sales Workflow. Example: Leads that change or move from one Status to another, Status changes are made by taking Actions – which move a lead through the Sales Workflow process.
Show Actions Taken – This will display a number value; the amount of leads that were marked with an Action. Example: Leads that are marked with an Action, such as Attempted Contact or Contacted.
Show Contacted – This will display a number value; the amount of leads that are marked as Contacted via an Action. Example: These are Leads with an Operation of ‘Mark Lead as Called/Emailed’ on an Action within the Workflow.
Show Appointments Created – This will display a number value; the amount of appointments created on a lead by an operation within an action that is taken on the lead or by adding an appointment to the lead via the calendar on the Lead Details Screen.
Show Closed Leads – This will display a number value; the amount of leads marked as Closed, which equals Sold, i.e. leads that have been “WON”.

Goal Metrics
There are three distinct levels of Performance Metrics; Poor, Good and Great.
Poor will begin at zero percent, hence why all metrics begin at zero. For the Metric of Poor, use the arrows, to move up or down the percentage to set the range of what is considered Poor.
Example: Poor begins at 0%, use the arrows to increase the ending range of what is considered Poor and move this number up to 30%. The Metric for Poor is now set with a range of 0% to 30%, if a lead source falls into this metric, you will clearly see the lead is doing poorly.
Next, notice the performance metric Good; now that you have added the metric range for Poor with an ending range of 30%, the metric Good will begin with an opening range of 30%. Within the metric of Good, you will not edit the percentage range, as the metrics of Poor and Great are what sets the percentage range for Good.
The final metric to set is the range for Great, notice the ending range is already set at 100%, as this is the highest the percentage can be set and is not adjustable. However, the beginning percent is the range you are able to set by using the arrows to adjust what is the ending range for Good and beginning range for Great. The metric ranges for Good and Great will adjust simultaneously, once you set the beginning percent range for the metric of Great.
Click the toggle for a Yes or No choice when deciding to use the 'Display for this goal' in the grid function.
When viewing the Report there are three titled categories that display above all other Filters added:
Lead Source – naming the Lead Source, Measure – the toggle Filters you select within the Filter Settings, and Date – this is the date range you have selected for the report
Note: Grid is in reference to the outline or delineated Measure on the Report.
Goal Direction – Goals are an important part of this report. You can set Goals to highlight the performance of specific categories. There are two choices, 'Higher is Better' or 'Lower is Better'.
Example: A reason to Filter with 'Higher is Better' would be for Accepted or Closed Leads. A reason to Filter with 'Lower is Better' would be for Rejected or Returned Leads.
Click Save All Goals once complete with Manage Goals
Tip: Accepted leads are equal to the accepted percentage of leads, minus the rejected leads. It’s possible to have a lower Accepted percentage, if a lead source is sending duplicate or improperly formatted leads.Note: Refresh [3] the applied Filters on the Report to give an update if any data has changed since the Report had last cycled.
Lastly, click Export [4] – this will provide the data that is viewed on the report via an Excel file, this data will display in the same format when viewing the grid on the Report.
