Field Groups & Layouts

The fields you added yourself arrive on a record in sections, and the section is the unit permission works on. A group owns its order, its colour, and the switch deciding whether what it holds reaches the table at all.

The permission is keyed to the group, never to a single field · the audit trail records who changed a value, not who looked at one
One group withheld, and it is the whole group. The permission is keyed to the group id, so it is both of those fields together or neither of them. There is no per-field switch underneath this.

The mechanism

How it works.

01

You draw them, nothing arrives drawn

A new workspace has no sections at all, so the first one is yours to name. Membership is single: a field belongs to one or to none, and one left outside every section behaves as fully open, which is the fallback rather than a fault.

02

Showing on the record, hiding in the table

A section can be kept off the grid and still be edited on the record. It is the difference between data your reps maintain and data your reps scroll past, and it is one switch.

03

The grant is on the section

A permission profile gets view, edit or delete against a whole section. Absent any entry the section is open, so the model starts permissive and you close what needs closing rather than opening a hundred fields one at a time.

04

What withholding actually covers

A withheld section keeps its values off the record and out of the list. The names of the fields and the options they offer are not a secret, and a section can be reordered or recoloured without touching who may read it.

Where it sits

Two moments in every record.

Every record passes through the same seven. Field Groups & Layouts is the lit ones, and everything either side of it is a different page in this category.

8 facts
Seeded
None. A workspace opens with no sections and you cut the ones you want
Covers
The fields you added. Built-in columns on a lead are not sorted this way
Membership
One section per field, or none. Fields outside every section stay open
Table switch
A section can be edited on the record while kept out of the grid
Grants
View, edit and delete per profile. View and edit are the two that decide anything
Default
No entry means full access. Restriction is something you add
Reach
Values are stripped from the record and the list. Names and option lists are not
Deleting
Removing a section removes its fields and sweeps the values they held

More in Leads & Sales CRM

12 capabilities

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

Leads

Individual and business records in one table, with fourteen company columns, consent flags and every touchpoint attached, held by a person, role or team.

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.

Advanced Filtering

Eighteen type-aware operators, a trigram search across seven columns, and a straight account of where a custom-field filter is resolved and what it costs.

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.

Bulk Import

Upload, map, review. Headers auto-map against the full field catalogue, imports stream so memory stays bounded, and a failed row never stops the run.

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.

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.
