Field Type "External ID"
Once the External ID field has been created and set up, you can easily navigate to another third-party app with one click.
Notes:
- The value you store in the External ID field must be unique. The same value cannot be saved for 2 different contacts in the CRM for the same external ID Custom Field.
- The value for the External ID field can be imported with your contacts, organizations, or deals.
Example:
Field Type "Section divider"
Section dividers allow you to separate your Custom fields for a better overview.
Notes:
- Once the divider has been created position it by moving it up or down via drag and drop on the Settings page under Custom Fields.
- If the Custom Fields under the Section divider is empty the divider will not be displayed.
- Under Deal preferences, you can select if Section dividers should be displayed in the Deal Preview.
How to make Custom Fields Mandatory
Make sure essential information is always populated into your OnePageCRM account by enabling custom fields as Mandatory.
