Custom Fields
Custom Fields let you add your own data columns to contacts and companies - track any information specific to your business beyond graph8’s built-in fields.
How Custom Fields Work
Custom fields appear as additional columns in your contact and company grids. They work like built-in fields - you can filter, sort, export, and enrich them.
There are two scopes:
| Scope | Visible In | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Global | All lists across your organization | Fields every team needs (e.g., “Customer Tier”, “Lead Source”) |
| List-specific | Only the list where it was created | Fields for a specific campaign or project |
Creating a Custom Field
- Open any contact or company list
- Click the + icon in the grid header (or Add Column)
- Enter a field name
- Select a data type:
- Text - free-form text (names, URLs, notes)
- Numeric - numbers (scores, revenue, headcount)
- Choose the scope: Global (all lists) or This list only
- Click Create
The new column appears in your grid immediately.
Using Custom Fields
In the Grid
- Click any cell in the custom column to edit its value
- Sort by clicking the column header
- Filter using the column filter (text search for text fields, range for numeric)
In Exports
Custom fields are included when you export to CSV or XLSX. The column header uses your display name (not the internal udo_* name).
With Enrichment
Custom fields can be enrichment targets - use AI formulas or waterfall enrichment to automatically populate custom columns:
- Go to Data → Enrichment
- Select the list and the custom field as the target column
- Configure the enrichment source (AI formula, provider chain, etc.)
- Run enrichment
Deleting a Custom Field
- Click the column header in the grid
- Select Delete Column
- Confirm deletion
