Leads get created through different sources like neetoCRM, neetoForm, API hit, etc. Many times owner is not attached to this new lead.
Hence a user is selected and assigned as an owner of the new lead. The selection of a user as an owner is done through user scores. User score functionality was introduced to distribute equal leads among users to work on.
-
Whenever an owner is assigned to a lead, then the user score of that that user increments by 1.
The least-scored user is then picked up for the assignment. If there are more than 1 users with the same score then leads are assigned to them randomly in round robin method.
If lead is reassigned to a new user then the new user score gets incremented by 1. Also if reassigned contact was created today only then the old owner score gets decremented by 1.
At midnight, all user scores get reset to 0.
Go to
Settings->Manage users->User scores, there is an option to reset user scores to 0.
