# Add Leads

When it comes to adding Leads, you have two options:

1. Add leads one by one
2. [Upload a CSV file](/v1/docs/how-to-upload-a-csv-file)

#### Adding leads one by one

Perhaps a parent has contacted your school directly and has requested an application from you. Great! Let’s add them to the Relationship Manager so that you can easily keep track of their journey.

To add an individual lead:

1. Go to your Relationship Manager and click on “Add Lead(s)” at the top right hand corner of your screen.
2. Then, click on “Add Single Lead”. ![Adding Leads.png](https://cdn.us.document360.io/24561116-0905-4f9f-91ac-4173c94f303a/Images/Documentation/Adding%20Leads%281%29.png)
3. When you do step 2, a box will appear, on the right hand side, giving you the ability to add information about the parent and the student, as well as what the lead’s status will be, such as “Incoming Leads” and “Application Sent”. It’s important to be thorough with adding the information listed because this information will help you later on. ![Adding Leads.png](https://cdn.us.document360.io/24561116-0905-4f9f-91ac-4173c94f303a/Images/Documentation/Adding%20Leads%202.png)

**IMPORTANT**: Keep in mind that you will need to populate the following fields, at a minimum, in order to add a lead:

- The Parent First Name
- The Parent Last Name
- Email Address
- Phone Number
- ZIP code
- The Student First Name
- The Student Last Name
- The Student Grade
- School Year
- Source
- Date Added

This may be the minimum data needed to add a contact, but adding more information is always better.

- Lead Source: how you and your team generated this lead. This is a great way to track what leads from different sources convert the most.

A family interested in your school and their associated contact information.

The central database for all of your school's Leads - including those generated by Schola and/or those that you upload directly.

Lead Source refers to the source of any Lead within the Schola Relationship Manager. Sources can include the ScholaMatch Quiz, leads generated by Schola, or leads from your efforts that were manually added.
