Any CRM element form has a set of standard fields, but any business is unique and has its own needs.
Custom fields are created by CRM users. Such fields are available in all entities and have all the same features as the system ones. They are displayed in the CRM entity form. You can use filters and search by custom field values.
Add a custom field
You can add fields in two ways: in the entity form and in the CRM settings. The first way is suitable when you want to quickly create a field for some text or date, and the second one - if you want to create a more complex field, for example, a list with a large number of values.
Add custom fields in the entity form
In the entity form, click Create field in the desired section. Select the appropriate field type.
Specify the name of the field and select the desired options. Then save your changes.
Add custom fields in the CRM settings
Click More and select Settings > CRM settings.
Then click Form and report settings and select Custom fields.
Click Add field in the menu of the desired entity.
Configure the field parameters:
- Sorting - the smaller is the "sorting" field value, the higher is the field in the CRM element form.
- Assign names in all languages - enable this option to specify the field name in different languages. If this option is enabled, you'll need to specify field values in all languages when adding a new CRM element.
- Name - specify the field name.
- Required - enable this option to make the field required.
- Multiple - enable this option to be able to specify several field values.
- Show in filter - enable this option to show the field in filters.
- Show in list - enable this option to show the field in the List view.
Then select the field type.
