This category contains articles related to Custom Fields. A Custom Field is the basic unit of data storage that you attach to an object such as a contact, a role, an activity type or company.

Overview

Many areas in SmartSimple are comprised mainly of custom fields--such as the Universal Tracking Application--so understanding their proper setup and use is vital in order to create an easy-to-use instance that addresses your organization's needs. There are over 50 field types that you can use to capture and store data; these can be grouped on tabs, or displayed in multiple columns to avoid cluttering the page. The maximum number of custom fields that can be displayed on a single page is 400 total. New fields can be created at any time, without affecting current data.

Common Field Options

Custom Fields share many of the same setup options, so we've listed them here. Please see below:

Field Options
