Custom Fields

Custom fields let you capture information Growee does not track out of the box. If your company needs to store something specific on an employee, lead, client, or contact, you add a custom field for it and the field then appears on that record.

This article covers where custom fields live and how to add one. Managing custom fields is aimed at admins.

Where custom fields live

Custom fields are part of your company configuration.

  1. Open Configurations.
  2. Go to Custom Fields.

The Custom Fields configuration with the entity-type filter and fields list

Choose an entity type

Custom fields are grouped by the type of record they belong to. Use the buttons at the top to switch between entity types before adding or reviewing fields:

  • Team for employee records.
  • Leads for CRM leads.
  • Clients for clients.
  • Contacts for contacts.

A field you add under Team, for example, shows up in the Custom Fields section when you create or edit an employee.

Add a custom field

  1. Select the entity type you want to extend.
  2. Click Add custom field.
  3. Fill in the field details and save.

Each custom field is listed with the following properties:

Property What it defines
Label The name shown for the field on the record.
Type The kind of input, such as a select list.
Required Whether the field must be filled in.
Order Where the field appears relative to others.
