Understanding Custom Fields

  • Custom fields are used to store owner information and property information.
  • Custom fields are located on your contact cards.
  • Custom Fields allow you to add specific pieces of information related to a contact in the CRM. Once a Custom Field has been added to the system, it will appear in every contact detail page. You can use these Custom Fields to keep track of information that's specific to the business and also use them as reference points in other areas like emails, text messages, notes, and more. 

Accessing Custom Fields within a Contact Card

  1. Navigate to Contacts in the menu pane.
  2. Open a desired contact to display the contact's card.
  3. In the left column, you will see blue sections titled Contact, General Info, Additional Info, etc.  To expand or collapse a section, click on the arrow to the left of the title.  These sections represent Folders.
