Creating and managing records
Create, edit, search and export contacts, companies, leads and opportunities, and use the 360° view.
Each object has its own list in the sidebar menu. The form is built automatically from the object's fields, including the ones you create. Selection fields appear as colored pills in the lists, making them easier to read.
Create a record
- In the menu, choose the object (e.g. Contacts).
- Click "New". The form uses the full screen, in columns.
- Fill in the fields. The "?" next to each one explains what to enter, and those marked with * are required.
- Some fields come with a default value (e.g. Website starts with https://).
- Click Create. You go straight to the record you just created.
Edit and delete
Click a record in the list to open its details. The data is on the left (edit it and click Save); on the right are the related records and the timeline. To remove it, use Delete: the record goes to the Trash and can be restored for 30 days (see the "Trash" article).
Clearing a field
To leave a field blank, delete what is written in it and click Save. The field really does become empty: the old value does not come back on its own.
- The system only clears the field that had a value when you opened the screen and that you left empty.
- A field you did not touch stays exactly as it was.
- A field that was already empty stays empty and does not count as a change.
- A required field cannot be left empty: on save, the system asks you to fill it back in.
Spreadsheet import behaves the other way around, on purpose: there an empty cell means "not provided" and never erases what the record already has, so an incomplete file cannot destroy good data. When you really want to empty a field, do it from the record form.
Table and Board
Each object opens in its default view: Opportunities open in the Board (kanban by stage); Contacts, Companies, Leads and Products open in Table. Use the "Table / Board" selector at the top to switch at any time.
- The Table columns and the Board card fields are defined per object (including relationships like Company).
- On the Board, drag a card between columns to change the stage/status; in Products the Board is organized by Category.
Bulk actions
In the Table, check the box on each row (or the header box to select all visible ones). An action bar appears to apply changes to the selected records all at once:
- Change field: choose a field (e.g. Status, Stage) and the new value, applied to all selected records.
- Assign owner: set the owner of the records all at once.
- Delete: sends the selected records to the Trash (asks for confirmation; recoverable for 30 days).
Transform fields in bulk
Unlike "Change field" (which writes the same fixed value to everyone), "Transform" reads each record's current value and transforms it ā ideal for standardizing phones, emails, codes and names without a spreadsheet. Select the records in the Table and click "Transform".
- Pick a text field (e.g. Mobile) and the operation: add prefix/suffix, find and replace, replace by pattern (regex), trim spaces, UPPERCASE, lowercase or capitalize.
- Use "Apply when" to restrict it (e.g. only if it does not start with "+351"), so you never touch what is already correct.
- Click "Preview" to see beforeāafter and how many will change / stay the same. Only then click "Apply".
Search
Use the search field at the top of the list to find records. Search scans several fields at once, not just the name but the objectās other text fields too (and the ones you marked "show in list", such as email and phone). It also ignores accents and letter case ("Joao" finds "JoĆ£o").
Export to Excel/CSV
The "Export CSV" button downloads the current list as a file that opens in Excel or Google Sheets, with correct accents. Handy for external analysis and one-off backups.
360° view
On a contact's or opportunity's detail page, you see everything related to that record: the data, the linked records (e.g. the Contact inside an Opportunity, shown in a side panel) and the "Activities and history" section with tasks, calls, meetings and changes.
