Custom Fields

The thing your business tracks that no CRM ships with. Choose a type, write a label, and it stands on leads, deals, products or vendors, stored beside the record rather than in a table somebody has to migrate first.

A dropdown is not a dropdown without its options, so the form marks them required and refuses to save until there is at least one.

The mechanism

How it works.

01

The label is what you write

You type the human label and the internal name is derived from it, lowercased down to letters, digits and underscores. A name one of your own fields already holds is turned away, as is anything that would collide with a built-in column.

02

Four record types, one mechanism

Leads, deals, products and vendors each keep their own set. Values are written into a JSON column on the record itself, so adding a field costs no table and no migration.

03

Rules held lightly, on purpose

A field can carry a minimum, a maximum, a maximum length, a default and a list of options. The shape of a date, a number, a currency, a phone, a URL, an address and a yes-or-no is tested against its type as the record is written.

04

Removing one leaves what it collected

Delete the definition and the stored values stay on the records that had them, which means a field recreated under the same name finds its old answers waiting. Removing the whole section is what clears them.

Where it sits

One moment in every record.

Every record passes through the same seven. Custom Fields is the lit one, and everything either side of it is a different page in this category.

Types
Eleven: text, number, date, boolean, two pickers, url, email, phone, currency and file
Offered
All eleven on the picker, the file type among them
Applies to
Leads, deals, products and vendors, each with an independent set
Stored as
A JSON column on the record, keyed by the field name
Sections
Optional, and none exist until you cut one, so a first field lands in nothing
Checked
By type, as the record is written. Free text is taken as typed, having no shape to check
Required
Marked on the field, held by the form and checked again when the record is saved
No uniqueness
Nothing prevents two records holding the same value in the same field

More in Leads & Sales CRM

11 capabilities

The system of record the phone writes to directly - no sync job.

Deals & Pipelines

Unlimited pipelines, each with its own stages, win probability, colour and temperature. Seven seeded, and every stage change writes itself onto the deal.

Lead Stages

Create the stages your floor argues about, colour them, order them and rate them hot, warm or cold, while six fixed categories keep the reporting stable.

Lead Sources

Ten sources seeded and sealed, your own added beside them, each with a colour and a live count, and one stamped across a whole import rather than per row.

Saved Views

Columns, sorts, filters and layout save together and hand to a CRM role, so a new starter opens the same board instead of rebuilding it every morning.

Bulk Actions

Tick rows and reassign, export, delete or enrol them at once, filtered per record by permission, so a mixed selection returns a verdict per row.

Duplicate Detection

Matched on normalised email then phone, at the moment a record is written, so the duplicate is caught on the way in rather than found in a report later.

Activities & Timeline

Every field change on a record with both values, beside the notes, mail, tasks and deal links against it, assembled as it happens rather than typed up later.

Touchpoints

Calls, voicemails, emails and texts merged into one chronological history per lead, attached by the number they reached, with duration and the wrap-up code.

Tasks & Reminders

Tasks with assignees, reminders, comments and templates, raised by hand or by a sequence, and the only CRM object that leaves the app to find someone.

Roles & Permissions

A role tree, sixteen org-level flags, per-entity CRUD and sharing rules across branches - so a BPO runs several clients on one tenant, safely.

Goals & Leaderboards

Ten measures over six windows, with attainment read from won deals and logged work the moment you open the target rather than filed by hand or overnight.
