The Leads page is where every captured submission lives. It has two independent parts: a
dashboard of summary cards and charts at the top, and a leads table underneath. This page
explains both — and, importantly, the two separate date filters that trip people up.
Note The Leads page requires a paid plan
(Starter). On the free plan the menu item
shows an upgrade prompt instead. Lead tracking must also be switched on — if it’s off, the
page shows a banner linking to the Privacy settings. See
Capturing leads.
This is the single most important thing to understand on this page:
| Control | Where it is | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Period | Top of the page, above the summary cards | Only the dashboard — summary cards and charts |
| From / To | In the filter bar directly above the table | Only the leads table (which rows are listed) |
They are completely separate. Changing the dashboard Period never filters the table, and setting
the table’s From/To never changes the charts. You can, for example, look at the last-7-days
charts while the table below still lists every lead you’ve ever captured.
Use the Period dropdown to choose the window the dashboard reflects:
Pick a preset (or a custom range) and click Apply. When a range is active, a Reset link
appears to return the dashboard to All time.
Note The dashboard widgets only render once there is at least one lead in the selected
period. An empty period shows just the summary cards.
Three cards sit below the period selector:
utm_source in the selected period.When there are leads in range, the dashboard shows up to five widgets:
(Starter)Click the gear button in the period bar to open a checklist of the five widgets. Tick or untick
any of them to show or hide it. Your choice is saved per admin user, so each team member can lay
the dashboard out their own way.
(Starter)Each widget that supports more than one view has small toggle buttons in its heading (donut / bars /
table). Click one to switch. Like widget visibility, the chosen view is remembered per user.
(Pro)Click the palette button in the period bar to open the colours panel. There you can set:
Click Save Colors to apply them, or Reset to Defaults to clear them.
Note The panel is visible on every paid plan, but saving custom colours is a
(Pro)
feature — on Starter the Save button is disabled and shows an upgrade prompt. Chart colours are a
site-wide setting (unlike widget layout, which is per user). If you downgrade from Pro, saved
colours stop applying and the charts fall back to the defaults.
Below the dashboard is the full list of captured leads, 20 per page.
| Column | Contents |
|---|---|
| Date | Submission date and time |
| Contact | Email (bold), name and phone, as captured |
| Form | The form’s name |
| Source | utm_source |
| Medium | utm_medium |
| Campaign | utm_campaign |
| Referrer | Detected referrer category |
| Landing Page | First page of the visit |
| Device | Desktop / Mobile / Tablet |
Empty values show as a dash (—).
Click a column header to sort. Date (the default, newest first), Contact, Form,
Source, Medium, Campaign, Referrer and Device are all sortable. Landing Page
is display-only and cannot be sorted.
Directly above the table is a filter bar with dropdowns for Form, Source, Medium,
Campaign, Referrer and Device (each populated with the values actually present in your
leads), plus From and To date pickers. Set any combination and click Filter.
The Search Leads box (top right of the table) does a free-text search across leads. Click
Reset to clear every filter, the search and the sort in one go.
Note Remember: the table’s From/To dates filter this table only. They are not the
dashboard Period.
Open the Screen Options tab at the very top-right of the admin screen to tick columns on or off.
Hiding, say, Campaign and Referrer gives you a cleaner table without losing the data — it’s still in
each lead’s detail view. Your column choice is remembered per user.
Hover a row and click Details (under the Date column) to expand an in-place panel with
everything captured for that lead, grouped into:
Note The Attribution section only lists tracking fields you have enabled in Settings, so
two sites can show different rows here. See
Visitor & campaign tracking.
Warning Deletion is permanent — there is no trash or undo for leads. Export first if you
might need the data later. Deleting is often the right call for GDPR erasure requests; see
GDPR & consent.
To download leads instead of (or before) deleting them, use the Export CSV button above the
table — covered in Exporting.
