How do I set up checklists?

Checklists are sets of fields that can be submitted multiple times for the same lead. This guide explains how to create checklists, configure fields, and manage submission settings.

What are checklists?

A checklist is a set of fields that can be submitted multiple times for the same lead. Unlike regular lead fields (which can only be filled once), checklists allow you to track recurring activities, tasks, or events. For example, you might use checklists to track service visits, quality checks, or follow-up calls.


Where to access checklists

Navigate to Campaign settings → Checklists to create and manage checklists.


Creating a new checklist

To create a checklist:

  1. Go to Campaign settings → Checklists
  2. Click + New checklist
  3. Configure the checklist settings (see below)
  4. Click + Create

Checklist settings

Name

Enter a friendly identifier for the checklist. This name appears in the campaign interface and helps users identify the checklist's purpose.


Icon

Choose a FontAwesome icon to visually represent the checklist (e.g., fa fa-circle, fa fa-check). This icon displays next to the checklist name.


Max submissions per lead

Set the maximum number of times this checklist can be submitted for a single lead. Options:

  • Unlimited – No limit on submissions
  • Specific number – Limit to exact number of submissions

Max submissions per lead per user

Limit how many times each user can submit the checklist for a lead. Options:

  • Unlimited
  • 1-50 – Choose from predefined values (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50)

This prevents individual users from over-submitting while allowing team collaboration.


Who can edit submissions?

Control who can modify checklist submissions after they're created:

  • All – Anyone with access to the lead can edit
  • Admins and the person creating the submission – Only the creator or admins can edit
  • Admins only – Only administrators can edit submissions

Set lead status on submission?

Choose whether submitting the checklist should change the lead's status:

  • No – Lead status remains unchanged
  • Yes – Include a status selector when filling out the checklist, allowing users to update lead status during submission

Intro

Add optional introductory text that displays at the top of the checklist form. Use this to provide instructions or context for users filling out the checklist.


Adding fields to a checklist

After creating a checklist, add fields to it:

  1. In the Checklists overview, find your checklist
  2. Click the + icon next to the checklist name
  3. Configure the field settings (see below)
  4. Click + Create

Checklist field settings

A standard text input field with a 250-character limit. Use for short text responses.

  • Dropdown select: Ja/Nej – Dropdown with Yes/No options
  • Radio button group: Ja/Nej – Radio buttons for Yes/No

File upload (campaign file field)

Allows users to upload files. Configure:

  • File field – Choose an existing file field or create a new one
  • Full width file input – Display file uploader at full width
  • File types – Restrict upload types (e.g., Image, PDF, Document)

Available options

For dropdown fields, enter available options separated by newlines. Each line becomes an option in the dropdown.


Is required

Make the field mandatory. Users cannot submit the checklist without filling required fields.


Placeholder text

Text displayed inside the input field before the user enters data. This provides a hint about what to enter.


Default value

Pre-fill the field with an initial value. Users can change this value when submitting.


Icon

Follow-up calls

Log multiple phone calls with fields for call date, outcome, next action, and notes.


Task tracking

Create task lists where team members can submit completed tasks with timestamps and results.


Best practices

  • Keep it simple – Use only essential fields to ensure quick submissions
  • Use clear names – Choose descriptive field names that explain what data to enter
  • Set appropriate limits – Consider realistic submission limits based on your workflow
  • Add help text – Use descriptions to clarify complex or technical fields
  • Test before deployment – Submit test checklists to ensure the form works as expected
  • Review permissions – Set edit permissions based on your team's collaboration needs

Summary

Checklists enable repeated data collection for the same lead, making them perfect for tracking recurring activities or events. Configure submission limits, edit permissions, and status changes to match your workflow. Add various field types including text, dropdowns, checkboxes, and file uploads. Use checklists to track service visits, quality checks, follow-ups, or any repeatable process in your campaigns.
