Add your own fields to anything.

Every business tracks something the software did not plan for. Add your own fields to deals, contacts, invoices, employees and more - ten field types, grouped into sections you name, shown exactly where you want them.

One field, four switches.
One fieldAdded once, and it turns up in four places

A field decides for itself whether it shows on the card, on the record, on quick add and in filters. Add Priority to deals and it is a badge on the board, a filter in the list, and something an automation can read.

The fields screen

Every field, and where it shows.

Pick a record type, like deals or contacts, and see all its fields at a glance: the name, the type, the section it belongs to, where it appears, and whether you can filter by it.

The library

Start from a ready-made field.

Common fields like Priority and Industry come ready-made, so every team uses the same one instead of inventing their own.

  • Browse ready-made fields for each record type
  • Add one in a click, with its options already filled in
  • Edit it afterwards like any field you created
  • Keep names consistent so reports and imports line up
  • Build automations that act on the fields you added

Lookup fields

Point a field at a record you already have.

Instead of typing a company name into a box, a lookup field holds the company itself. Start typing and pick the real record: a contact, a company, a deal, an employee, an invoice, an expense, a product, an issue, a ticket or a workflow.

One record everyone points at, spelt one way
Who gets it

Add a field to one pipeline instead of every deal.

A field can apply to all your deals, or only to the deals in a single pipeline. Boards work the same way, so a field can belong to one board alone. The team that asked for it gets it, and nobody else has a new box to ignore.

Pick the record first, then who it is for
Before removing

See how much a field is used before you take it away.

Each field shows how many records have something in it. Archiving hides it and can be undone. Deleting it for good is only offered once nothing is stored in it, and you have to type the field's name to confirm.

A field an automation looks after cannot be deleted by hand

Access

Who can do what.

Anyone can fill fields in. Adding a field changes what everyone sees, and removing one deletes its data, so those two powers belong to a smaller group.

See

See every field and where it appears.

Do

Fill in custom fields on the work in front of you.

Manage

Add fields and choose where they appear.

Admin

Change or remove a field everyone depends on.

Admin is the highest role and is not limited by these permissions, so keep it to the few people who genuinely need it.

One field, start to finish

A field asked for on Monday, in use by the same Friday.

The team added it from the library, put it on the card as a badge, switched on filtering, and had an automation using it the same week. No developer needed, and nothing else had to change.

The team wants a Priority field on their deals. NearSync does not ship one, so they add their own.
