#Create and manage Smart CRM custom fields
Custom fields extend People, Companies, Opportunities, Notes, or Tasks when a business fact has a clear shared meaning that standard CRM fields do not cover.
#Who this is for
Use this guide when your team repeatedly needs the same information but no standard CRM field represents it.
#Create a field deliberately
- Open Custom Fields from CRM.
- Choose the entity that should own the value.
- Search existing fields first.
- Use a clear label and select the appropriate field type.
- Define consistent options when the type uses choices.
- Save, then test the field on one record before asking the team to use it.
Do not create duplicate fields for the same business fact. Brand names and professional terms should remain consistent across labels and choices.
#Use fields in records and imports
Active fields appear on their entity’s forms and can be included when mapping an import. Keep the meaning stable; changing how a field is interpreted makes existing records unreliable.
#FAQ
#Which records support custom fields?
Smart CRM custom fields are managed separately for People, Companies, Opportunities, Notes, and Tasks.
#When should I avoid creating a custom field?
Avoid it when a standard field already represents the fact, the meaning is not shared, or the value belongs only in one contextual note.
