Fill in custom fields

Who can do this

Anyone with CRM Access who can see the client. You see a field when your Custom Field View Level is at least the field's level, and you can change it when your Custom Field Edit Level is.

Open the client and find Custom Fields on the Details tab. The number next to the heading is how many fields there are — (5/12) while empty fields are hidden.

Find a field

  • Type in Search fields... to find a field by its name or its value.
  • Click Hide Empty to show only fields that have a value, and Show Empty to bring the rest back. Headings, spacing and lines always stay, so the layout keeps its shape.

An empty field shows Not Set.

Change a value

  1. Click the value.
  2. Type or pick the new value. How you fill it in depends on the field type.
  3. Press Enter or click away to save.

A checkbox changes as soon as you click it. A field you can see but not change shows its value without letting you click it.

Changing a field can start an automation your account has set up — see Custom fields in automations. Automations can also fill fields in, so a value may change without anyone typing it.

A text field whose whole value is a web address or email address shows as a link. Click the pencil next to it to change it.

Copy a value

Hover over a field and click Copy value. The value is copied to your clipboard. The hover also shows the field's ID, which automations and imports use to refer to it.

Button fields

A button field runs an automation for this client when you click it — for example, booking a tune-up or sending a welcome pack.

You can press a button field when your Custom Field Edit Level is at least the field's level; below it, the button is greyed out. Button columns in custom tables have no level — anyone who can see the client can press them.

  1. Click the button.
  2. Read the confirmation. If the button needs other fields filled in first, it lists them: fields marked Empty need a value before you can go on.
  3. Click Execute.

Trigger executed successfully confirms it ran. A button that isn't linked to an automation yet says so when you hover over it — someone who builds automations links it with a CRM Trigger set to Client Field Button Click.
