Document Management against Lead Entity

Documents are integral part for any business. During any business process lots of documents are being shared between the parties. These documents may be the physical documents or electronic documents. As technology is evolving, electronic documents are mostly preferred as they are easy to store, manage and can be accessed anywhere any time.

Sage CRM also provides documentation in a very systematic way. In sales or service process, documents can be added in to respective entities using documents tab and can be accessed in the respective context itself. But you might have seen that Lead entity doesn’t have Documents tab. There might be cases that client can ask for documents tab at lead level as his business involves document sharing at lead level.
