We've Got
The Basics Covered

We’ve got you covered with all the commonly used field types - you’ll use these on pretty much everything you do.

Start by adding Basic Fields such as Text, Date, Number, Single and Multiple Select lists, Files and Images, and more. 

Each field comes with validation - for example, if you try to enter a date in the wrong format, we’ll call you out (nicely). Maintain quality data for quality decisions.

By Linking Solutions

Linked fields are the magic behind your workflows, creating connections between everything in the platform, so data can be shared without duplication. Relate contacts to accounts, features to products, logos to marketing materials, and on and on. Linked fields save you time...so, so, so much time. 

Checklists make sure the details are managed

Check Off The Details
With Checklists

Like a to-do list on steroids, checklist fields allow you to create collaborative tasks lists to knock out the little details on the path to an excellent broader scope of work. 

We’re not saying you have to completely get rid of that paper notebook you’ve been building out to-do lists in, but we do offer color coding as well.
