* [[Internal]] and [[External|external]] organizational [[Entity|entities]].
 
* [[Client Categories|Organization Categories]].
 
* [[Internal]] and [[External|external]] contacts.
 
* [[User]] [[Role|Roles]].
 
* [[Personal Transaction|Personal Transactions]] – set of custom records that you can associate with contacts.
 
 
 
You can also add [[Custom Fields|custom fields]] to applications such as [[Sales Tracking]], Expense Tracking and Time Tracking.
 
 
 
Some [[Applications|applications]] that you will use in [[SmartSimple]] consist primarily of [[Custom Fields|custom fields]], such as the Web Forms [[Application|application]] and the [[Universal Tracking Application]].
