    Default Help: How ? convert all CONTACTS to LEADS?

    Hi, new user here. I mistakenly imported 1600 .csv records into CONTACTS.

    Now I realize they should really have been imported into LEADS.

    Is there an easy way to move them? Or delete everything and start over...?

    It would be easier to delete them and them import them as Leads.

    To delete them, use a MySQL admin tool to connect to your Sugar database and run the following query:

    TRUNCATE contacts;

    This will delete ALL your contacts. If you only want to delete a subset, you'll need a different query.

    You can then proceed to perform the import within the Leads module.
