Adding Accounts from the Main Menu
Add a New Account directly to Veloxity CRM from the Main Menu.

Adding a New Account from a Lead Record
If your company uses Lead Records, Accounts are automatically added to Veloxity CRM when you click Create Opportunity or Capture Contact.
- Capture Contact. On a Lead Record, an Account is automatically created when you select Capture Contact. Capture Contact is used to capture Account and Contact information from a Lead Record. This is typically used when the Lead is not being converted into an Opportunity.
- Create Opportunity. On a Lead Record, an Account is automatically created when you select Create Opportunity. Create Opportunity is used to convert a Lead into an Opportunity. Create Opportunity automatically creates and links a Contact Record, Opportunity Record, and (depending on your Business Transaction Type) Account Record.
