This page of the product allows you to reset any leads that have already been called through the system. Leads that have been 'finalled' or reached max attempts can be reset to allow you to call them again.
There are Ofcom compliance rules around this action so you should always ensure it is safe to do so.
The page give you the ability to reset leads based on result codes and statuses, as well as determining call duration, exception type and supplier.
Use case examples
Clients who have had several 'Bad number' outcomes may want to periodically reset the leads to attempt to contact them again as there may have been an issue which resulted in the system classifying them as a bad number incorrectly.
Short calls. Users may sometimes disposition calls that are very short in length and have been dispositioned as a final/something else, meaning you won't call them again. Another scenario could be that these short calls have happened and you have reached max attempts, so you won't automatically call them again. Resetting these leads means you can call the numbers again and possibly get a different outcome.

At the top of the screen you can choose to create a new template for the lead manager to follow.

Once you add a name and press save, the 'Create Template' button will be replaced with the following buttons;
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
