<p style="text-align: justify"><strong>D</strong><strong>eals</strong> are used in Pipedrive to reflect sales and the process used to complete them. But what about after-sales actions businesses take, including internal, pre-sales and post-sales operations? </p>
<p style="text-align: justify">You can use <a href="https://support.pipedrive.com/article/projects-by-pipedrive" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Projects</a> to reflect these processes, such as shipping a product after a sale is completed or following up with clients regarding repeat sales opportunities.

<h2 style="text-align: justify">Projects </h2>
<p style="text-align: justify">When organizing your Pipedrive data, you may find ongoing initiatives that don't fit into the deal or lead categories.

<p style="text-align: justify">In Pipedrive, <a href="https://support.pipedrive.com/article/projects-by-pipedrive" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Projects</a> is the perfect tool to address those needs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">You can: </p>
<ul><li>Link deals or contacts to your projects </li><li>Add activities at different phases</li><li>Monitor your projects' progress</li></ul>

<h2 style="text-align: justify">Things to keep in mind</h2>
<ul>
<li>User, organization, and person-type custom fields will click through to the item entered in those values.</li>
<li>People contacts in Pipedrive already have a default phone field, but a phone-type custom field can be added under other items (organizations, deals etc.)</li>
<li>Organizations in Pipedrive already have a default address field, but an address-type custom field can be added under other items (leads, projects etc.)</li>
<li>When adding a value in a person or organization field, if a contact with that name doesn’t already exist in your account, a new one will be created</li>
<li>Numerical and monetary fields for deals can also have formulas added to them. You can learn more about formula fields <a href="https://support.pipedrive.com/article/custom-fields-formula-fields" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">in this article</a>.</li>
<li>Text fields can be used for URLs, and clicking a URL in a text field will redirect you to that webpage</li>
<li>Address custom fields behave like the default address fields under organizations, including subfields and the <a href="https://support.pipedrive.com/article/-show-on-map-feature" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>“Show on Map”</strong></a> feature.</li>
<li>The currency of a monetary field will match your default currency setting unless otherwise specified.</li></ul>
