Custom fields store information that is specific to your organization and is not covered by the standard contact fields. For example, you might add Account Manager, Customer Tier, or Renewal Date.

Open Kelune CRM → Settings → Custom Fields.

Create a custom field

  1. Select Create Custom Field.
  2. Choose a Field Type.
  3. Enter the user-facing Field Label.
  4. Review the generated Field Key.
  5. Configure any options for the selected field type.
  6. Add a Default Value when appropriate.
  7. Enable Required Field only when every contact must have a value.
  8. Save the field.

Choose the correct field type

Field type Best for
Single Line Text Short free-text values
Multi-line Text Longer notes or descriptions
Number Numeric values that may need minimum, maximum, or step rules
Email, URL, Phone Values that benefit from a purpose-specific input
Select (Dropdown) One choice from a defined set
Radio Buttons One visible choice from a short set
Checkboxes One or more choices from a defined set
Date A calendar date
Date and Time A date with a specific time

Choice fields require at least one option. Depending on the field type, you can also configure a placeholder, help text, maximum length, or numeric limits.

Use custom fields on contacts

After creation, the field appears in the custom-fields section of the contact form. Enter or update its value when creating or editing a contact.

Custom fields are also available as destinations when mapping columns during a contact import.

Edit, order, or delete fields

Use the Custom Fields table to filter by type or required status, change the display order, edit field settings, or delete a field that is no longer needed.
