How to Customize the CRM (Stages, Forms & Columns)

The CRM adapts to your process. Three customization tools apply across the modules where they make sense.

1. Customize stages and statuses

Every board's columns are editable. You can:

  • Add a new stage with a name and color

  • Rename or recolor existing stages

  • Reorder columns by dragging

  • Delete stages you don't use

Pipeline stages are the most common thing to customize — see the Deals article for the deal-specific workflow.

2. Customize create forms

Each entity's create form has an editor that lets you:

  • Turn optional properties on or off (for example, add Priority or Next Step to deals)

  • Choose which related records (Company, Contacts, Products) can be linked at creation

  • Save to apply the layout for your team, or Reset to restore defaults

3. Customize table columns

In any table view, click Edit Columns to:

  • Keep the core columns visible

  • Add optional custom fields and associations

  • Drag columns to reorder, then apply

Your column layout is remembered per entity, as is your board-or-table view choice for each tab.

Tips

  • Mirror your real sales process in your deal stages before importing leads — clean stage history is easier than renaming after the fact.

  • Keep create forms minimal; every extra field slows down data entry.
