Help / Tenant Admin

The custom-fields library

← All help topics

The custom-fields library is the curated catalogue of typed fields a tenant can enable on accounts, contacts, opportunities, and activities. It’s the tenant admin’s most-used admin surface.

Where to find it

/admin/custom-fields in the left rail under Admin.

What you can do

  • Browse the library, grouped by source pack — core fields first, then any Vertical Pack fields if your tenant has subscribed.
  • Enable a field for the current Client. Disabled fields don’t appear on record edit pages and aren’t targeted by agents.
  • Mark a field as required for the Client — the record edit page will refuse to save without a value.
  • Extend picklist values on select / multi_select fields where the field definition allows it (options_extendable is true). Your additions live in tenant_options and merge with the library defaults at read time.

What you can’t do

Define new field types. Rename library fields. Change a field’s type after enabling it. These are governance guarantees that keep the auto-capture agents reliable across tenants.

Field enablement is per-(tenant, client). Enabling industry for Client A doesn’t enable it for Client B. Sibling Clients can extend picklist values independently too.
