Converting Lead to Opportunity

[jif001]

I am having an issue with converting a lead to an opportunity.
After I followed the instructions to convert the lead it is in a converted status but does not show up as an opportunity.
How do we get it to show up as an opportunity and no longer a lead?

Hello,

the lead record will always exist in the system. However, the status will display as 'converted', so you can filter your leads list view to only display open leads if you don't want to see the converted ones.

When you convert a lead, a contact record is created, with the option to create or link to an existing account, as well as create an opportunity record. To create the Opportunity record, you must check off the 'Create Opportunity' checkbox and fill out the fields.
