Custom fields

Add, edit, and archive fields

Create fields on the Custom Fields page, reorder them, retire them safely, and understand system fields.

Updated August 13, 2026

Fields are managed on the Custom Fields page: click your workspace name at the top of the sidebar and choose Custom Fields. Only the workspace owner sees this page. Everyone else uses the fields; the owner shapes them.

The page shows one tab per record type (Companies, People, Opportunities, Tasks, Notes) with a count badge, and the fields of the selected type in a table you can search with Search fields....

Add a field

  1. Pick the record type's tab.
  2. Click Add Field.
  3. Choose the Type. This is permanent, so check Field types you can add first.
  4. Name it (names must be unique per record type).
  5. For choice types, add the Options.
  6. Adjust the Settings toggles (where the field shows up, whether it's searchable) and save.

The field appears on the record form, the record page, and (if you enabled it) the list view immediately, for everyone in the workspace. It's also instantly usable by the AI assistant and the CSV import, with no extra setup.

Edit and reorder

Click a field's row to rename it, change its options, or adjust its settings, everything except the type. Drag the handle at the start of each row to reorder fields; forms and record pages follow the order you set.

Archive instead of deleting

Deactivate moves a field to the collapsible Archived group at the bottom of the table. It disappears from forms and lists, but every stored value is kept. Activate brings the field and its data straight back. This is the safe way to retire a field you might need again, and the way to hide a field from the AI assistant.

Delete is only available on a field that is already archived, and it is destructive: the field, its options, and all values stored on your records are removed permanently. Relaticle asks you to confirm first.

System fields

Fields with a System badge are the ones Relaticle itself relies on: a person's Emails, a company's Domains, an opportunity's Amount, Close Date and Stage, a task's Status and Priority, a note's Body. You can't rename, retype, archive, or delete them, but you can still edit their settings, and for the selects among them, their options: rename your pipeline stages any time.
