Opportunity Custom Fields

Opportunities & Pipelines

Opportunity Custom Fields

Custom fields let you track additional data on your opportunities beyond the default fields. This is useful for capturing deal-specific information like project type, referral source, contract length, or any other data point relevant to your sales process.

Adding Custom Fields to Opportunities

Available Field Types

• Single Line Text: Short text entries like project names or reference numbers.
• Multi-Line Text: Longer text for descriptions or notes.
• Number: Numeric values for quantities, percentages, or scores.
• Currency: Monetary values with proper formatting.
• Dropdown: Predefined list of options to select from (e.g., project type, lead source).
• Date: Date values for deadlines, milestones, or key dates.
• Checkbox: Yes or no values for boolean data points.
• File Upload: Attach documents or files to the opportunity.

Tracking Deal Values and Close Dates

The deal value and expected close date are built-in fields on every opportunity. Use them to:

• Set the monetary value of each deal to calculate pipeline revenue.
• Set the expected close date to forecast when revenue will be realized.
• Filter and sort opportunities by value or close date for prioritization.
• Track changes to deal values over time to understand negotiation patterns.

Tip: Create a dropdown custom field for "Deal Source" or "Lead Source" on your opportunities. This lets you track which marketing channels generate the most pipeline revenue and make smarter investment decisions.
