# What status is assigned to web-generated leads?

All new web leads are marked with a status equal to the “default status” that your administrator selects when editing the Lead Status picklist values

In addition, web-generated leads are marked with the “Unread” flag; they have a check mark in the Unread column on the lead list views. When a user views or edits a new web lead, the lead is automatically set to “Read.” This way you can easily locate all new leads using the My Unread Leads list view.
