General Concepts
Users will be able to interact in four key ways:
1. Validate the email addresses of a single Account, Contact or Lead record by clicking on the new Validate button in the header row of a record.
2. Mass-update multiple Contacts, Lead, Targets and Accounts to be verified by the built-in scheduled job:
3. View and filter by the new Hunter Fields such as; Hunter Status, Hunter Last Checked, Hunter Last User and the Hunter Report.
4. Build reports which include these new fields.
The New Hunter-Specific Fields
Six new fields are added to Accounts, Contacts, Leads and Targets.
| Field Name | Description |

Reporting on the Hunter fields
One of the key fields to report on the status of your database is the Hunter Status field. You may also find it useful to report on other Hunter-related fields too, such as the Hunter Last Checked (a date field indicating the last time that record's email address was checked) and the Hunter Last User field (which indicated the user who last verified that record).
