Fields Overview

Fields help structure and manage data within your system by providing a flexible way to organize and store information. By allowing customization to capture the specific information your organization needs, fields ensure the system adapts to unique requirements. Additionally, a well-structured set of fields simplifies analysis and reporting, offering actionable insights to support better decision-making.

Common Use Cases for Fields

Departments

Track and organize data by department, such as Sales, Marketing, Engineering and Finance. This allows you to analyze spend by team.

Example:

Example:

  • Create a Field named Customer Segment and define values like Enterprise, Growth, and SMB.

  • Set this Field as mandatory for both customers and contracts.

  • Use this segmentation to analyze revenue contributions from different segments and develop targeted marketing campaigns.

Project or Event Tracking

Categorize data by project to monitor costs, progress, or performance associated with specific initiatives or campaigns.

Example:

  • Add a Field named Project with options like Product Launch 2025, Rebranding, and Customer Outreach.
