Pipedrive offers a highly customizable approach to managing your sales process. Your deals and leads, contacts, projects and products already come with the default fields needed to manage your data, but you can add fields specific to your company’s needs as custom fields.

With custom fields, you can document specific information needed to customize your data and organize and filter it in Pipedrive based on these fields.

Adding custom fields

Go to Settings > Company > Data fields, and click “Add custom field.” The field can be added under Lead/deal, Person, Organization, Product or Project.

In the window that appears, name the field and select the type of field you wish to create. Pipedrive offers a variety of custom field types that can easily be customized according to the information you need for your data.

Custom field grouping

You can organize your custom fields into groups, making it easier to find the field you need.

To add a new custom field group, click ”+ Field group“ while creating or editing a custom field.

After you create your group, you can see it in your data fields.

You can view your fields in groups or in a standard list view.

Custom field statistics

Admin users may not always know where a field is used or what data might get lost if they delete fields.

To measure the success and usefulness of your fields and avoid accidental deletions when editing, users can see their creation and update dates, along with stats showing where it is filled in or used in filters.

To view the field stats, admin users must click on the field to open the edit view. Then, at the bottom-left corner, click “View field stats”.

Then, a prompt will be displayed with the field stats. With this information in mind, you can either go back to edit the field or delete it.
